Heat treatment is an essential technique for influencing workpiece characteristics. Several industries focus on reliable part design to avoid breaking parts, e.g. by decreasing material weight and ...

AZoM talks to Richard Wismer, Sales Manager of Newage Testing Instruments, about the new MT91 Microhardness Testing System. Could you please provide a brief introduction to Newage hardness testing?

• Engineers can use hardness testing to verify the composition or heat-treatment history of materials. • Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and Shore are common hardness tests. Their use depends on the ...

MicroMet 6000 Series microindentation hardness testers perform Vickers and Knoop dead-weight microhardness tests. The testers have monochromatic, parallel-beam LED illumination and an integrated ...

When designing metal parts, it's important to specify their hardness. However, many engineers have only a shaky understanding of what hardness actually is, or how it's measured. There are good reasons ...
