Mold Steel Hardness Tester

The mold steel hardness tester applies pressure to the steel surface through an indenter to form an indentation, and measures the size of the indentation to convert it into a hardness value. It is used to detect the hardness of mold steel after heat treatment, ensuring the wear resistance and service life of molds. It is widely applied in quality control for the production of plastic injection molds, die-casting molds, and more.
Selection
Select the corresponding scale based on the type of mold steel material. The Rockwell hardness tester is suitable for quenched steel, while the Leeb hardness tester is convenient for on-site inspections. Consider the testing accuracy requirements: use a benchtop machine for the laboratory and a handheld device for the workshop. The indenter material should be wear-resistant, and the measurement range should cover the hardness range of the tested material.

Pencil Hardness Tester for Rapid Evaluation of Coating Surface Hardness
The pencil hardness tester is a tool used for rapidly assessing the relative hardness of coating surfaces through standardized scratch tests. It employs a series of pencil leads with known hardness levels, which are drawn across the coating under a fixed load and angle.
