Microhardness Gauge

The microhardness tester applies a small load through a diamond indenter to press into the material surface, and calculates the hardness value based on the diagonal length of the indentation. It is used to measure the hardness of coatings, thin films, and small components, and is widely applied in metal heat treatment and quality inspection of electroplated layers.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the material hardness range with the indenter type, and ensure the sample thickness is at least 10 times greater than the indentation depth. Determine the load resolution based on testing accuracy requirements, and ensure the observation system is equipped with a microscopic lens. Environmental vibrations can affect measurement stability, so a vibration isolation table should be configured.
