Hardness Testing
Hardness testing determines a material's resistance to indentation, providing information about its strength, wear resistance, and durability. Depending on the application and material type, other techniques such as Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers may be utilized. This test is commonly used to evaluate the performance of metals such as structural steel, bolts, and reinforcement in extreme circumstances. Hardness levels are frequently connected with tensile strength, providing a quick and non-destructive quality control option in mechanical and metallurgical settings.
