Steel Hardness Testing Device

The steel hardness tester applies pressure to the surface of the steel through an indenter to create an indentation, and the hardness value is calculated by measuring the size or depth of the indentation. It is used to test the steel's resistance to plastic deformation and is applied in metal processing, heat treatment quality control, and material acceptance.
Selection
When selecting, consider the steel thickness and heat treatment condition. Choose a surface Rockwell hardness tester for thin materials and a portable Leeb hardness tester for large workpieces. Determine the scale type based on testing standards, and for production sites, prioritize models with data output functionality.
