Hardness Testing

Hardness Testing is a key mechanical test that evaluates a material’s ability to resist indentation, scratching, or deformation. It’s an essential method for verifying strength, wear resistance, and heat treatment efficiency in metals and alloys.

Overview

Hardness testing measures a material’s resistance to permanent surface deformation by applying a fixed load through a standardized indenter. The resulting impression is analyzed to determine hardness values, which indicate the material’s strength, ductility, and resistance to abrasion or wear.

Kaztron NDT offers portable and laboratory-based hardness testing using standard methods like Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers. These tests are crucial in quality control, material verification, and inspection of welds or heat-treated components. Our trained inspectors ensure precise, repeatable results and adherence to international standards.

Common Questions

Explore some of the most commonly asked questions about our Hardness Testing service.

It’s used to determine a material’s resistance to indentation, helping assess strength, durability, and heat treatment quality.

Common methods include Rockwell (HRC, HRB), Brinell (HB), and Vickers (HV), depending on the material type and test application.

Yes. We provide portable hardness testers suitable for on-site testing of large or fixed components.

It’s minimally invasive. The test causes small surface indentations but doesn’t compromise component performance.

Most metals, alloys, weldments, and heat-treated components can be tested for hardness.

The method depends on the material type, expected hardness range, surface condition, and applicable standards.
