Hardness Testing

Hardness testing is a critical evaluation method used to determine a material’s resistance to deformation, indentation, or scratching, which directly influences its suitability for specific applications in product design and manufacturing. This assessment aids in selecting materials that meet performance requirements and ensures durability and longevity in final products. Various standardized techniques, such as Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers tests, provide quantitative data that informs design decisions and production processes.
