Portable Steel Hardness Tester

The steel hardness tester applies pressure to the surface of the steel through an indenter and calculates the hardness value based on the depth or diameter of the indentation. It is used to test the steel's resistance to deformation and monitor material performance in processes such as heat treatment and mechanical machining.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the steel thickness with the indenter type, the heat treatment state determines the load range, the detection accuracy needs to correspond to the scale type, portable models are suitable for on-site use while fixed ones are for laboratories, and environmental conditions affect the choice of sensors.
