Technologies · Material & mechanical testing
Verify material condition you can rely on
Hardness testing confirms material and heat-treatment condition — a fast, established way to check mechanical properties and process consistency.
Hardness Testing
Hardness testing measures a material's resistance to indentation as an indicator of mechanical condition. Using established methods such as Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell — in benchtop or portable form — it verifies heat treatment, case depth and process consistency.
Convert material and heat-treatment verification needs into hardness testing consultations.
Quality engineers and metallurgists verifying material and heat-treatment condition.
