Hardness Testing

Client Industry: Various

Result: N/A

Hardness is the ability of material to resisted plastic (permanent) deformation under an application of force and can be used to approximate the Ultimate Tensile Strength of a Material (UTS). Various test methods for measuring hardness have been developed and include Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers and Micro-hardness tests such as the Knoop hardness test. One application of hardness testing includes demonstrating the effect of a welding process on a base material as a function of its distance from the weld center (the Heat Affected Zone [“HAZ”]).
