Die Bestimmung des hardness curve over a component is a crucial method to determine the mechanical properties and the strength of a material. At GWP we offer the accredited Vickers hardness test in all available load levels to obtain detailed information about the hardness profile of a material.
hardness curve and Vickers test
The hardness progression provides information on how the Hardness of a material from the surface to deeper layers. With the Vickers hardness test, which is suitable for a wide range of materials, can be used precisely individual prints to measure the hardness profile over large areas or critical component areas. This is particularly important when examining welds, to the heat-affected zone (HAZ) characterize and possible differences in hardness or identify vulnerabilities.
- load levels: We offer the Vickers hardness test in all common load levels in order to determine the hardness curve flexibly and according to requirements.
- Suitable for Steel, Aluminium, Copper and many other materials.
Fields of application
- Analysis of hardness profile when welds to characterize the heat-affected zone (HAZ)
- assessment of the Oberflächenhärte and wear resistance
- Important exam in the Automotive industry, in the Engineering and active in Transmission components
Our accredited examinations ensure that the hardness profile of your components meets the quality standards and is optimally tailored to the specific requirements.
