Arc surface hardness Tester

The arc hardness tester measures the hardness of curved surface materials by pressing a spring-loaded steel ball into the material and converting the indentation diameter into a hardness value. It is used to test the hardness properties of curved metal parts, bearings, and other materials, ensuring that the surface hardness of workpieces meets processing requirements.
Selection
When selecting, consider the hardness range of the material being tested; the radius of curved surfaces must match the indenter size. Choose spring load based on material thickness—use low load for thin materials. Regularly calibrate with standard blocks, and avoid vibrations and corrosive gases in the operating environment.
