Mold Hardness Determinator

The mold hardness tester applies pressure to the mold surface through an indenter and calculates the hardness value based on the depth or diameter of the indentation. It is used to detect the surface hardness of mold steel and heat-treated components, ensuring the wear resistance and service life of molds. It is widely applied in the mechanical manufacturing and automotive mold industries.
Selection
When selecting, consider the mold material and heat treatment status to determine the test range. Choose a portable or benchtop model based on the on-site conditions. Verify that the indenter type matches the standards and confirm that the accuracy error is within the allowable range. Evaluate the ease of operation and data output functions, and select the model based on the budget.
