Tinius Olsen have introduced a new generation of instruments to their highly successful FH Series of hardness testers, with the launch of the new Micro Vickers, Vickers and Micro Brinell FH3 and FH14.

Compared to classic testing applications, hardness testing in powder metallurgy needs completely different procedures and parameters. Samples must be prepared well to permit the hardness test and ...

The medical device and electronics industries manufacture products that are fundamentally different from ordinary hard goods. These high-technology products with critical end-use applications tend to ...

This class presents a description of each hardness testing method, along with discussions on how to choose and perform a test, how to read hardness ratings, and how to prevent common errors. Hardness ...

Nanoindentation of metallic samples is closely related to hardness testing methods such as Vickers. The Vickers hardness test requires an imaging method to determine the size of the indentation cup.

When designing metal parts, it's important to specify their hardness. However, many engineers have only a shaky understanding of what hardness actually is, or how it's measured. There are good reasons ...

Hardness Testing provides a thorough overview of the most common hardness testing methods, including Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, rebound, and ultrasonic tests. This class presents a description ...
