Plating Hardness Detector

A coating hardness tester applies pressure to the surface of the coating through an indenter and calculates the hardness value based on the size or depth of the indentation. It is used to evaluate the compressive resistance of coatings on substrates such as metals and plastics, and is applied in quality monitoring of electroplated parts and printed circuit boards.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the coating thickness with the indenter load range, determine the testing method based on substrate properties, and compare with industry standards and specifications. Pay attention to the instrument calibration cycle and the convenience of indenter replacement, and ensure the operation interface matches the skill level of the personnel.
