    Microhardness Meter

    Overview Terms
    A microhardness tester measures hardness by pressing an indenter into the material surface under a small load and calculating the hardness value based on the diagonal length of the indentation. It is used to detect the local hardness of materials such as metals and coatings, and is suitable for thin layers, small components, and microstructural analysis.
    Selection
    When selecting, consider the type of test material and hardness range, as well as the matching requirements between the indenter and load. Focus on measurement accuracy and repeatability, ease of operation, and the method of indentation measurement. Evaluate equipment stability and calibration cycles, while balancing budget and maintenance costs.
