Plating Hardness Measurement Tester

The coating hardness tester applies pressure on the coating surface through an indenter and measures the size or depth of the indentation to calculate the hardness value. It is used to evaluate the resistance to indentation of coatings on substrates such as metals and plastics, and to control the quality of coatings in industries like electroplating and spraying.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the coating thickness with the indenter load range, determine the test method based on the substrate characteristics, and compare with industry standard requirements. Pay attention to the instrument calibration cycle and the convenience of indenter replacement, with an operation interface that should be simple and clear.
