Vickers hardness test according to DIN EN ISO 6507-1

The Vickers hardness test to DIN EN ISO 6507-1 is an established method for determining the hardness of materials. At GWP we offer this accredited examination to the mechanical properties of metals and alloys precisely.

What is the Vickers hardness test?

The Vickers hardness test is a universal method that is suitable for almost all materials. A diamond pyramid body is pressed into the material with a defined load and the diagonals of the resulting indentation are measured. The hardness value is then calculated and entered into Vickers hardness (HV) This method allows the determination of hardness in a wide range of load levels, which means that even very small and thin samples can be examined.

Fields of application

  • Metalworking: Evaluation of the hardness of steel, aluminum, copper and other alloys.
  • Quality control: Ensuring material quality in the Automotive industry, in the Engineering and in the Aviation.
  • Research and Development: Investigation of new materials and material combinations.

Advantages of the Vickers hardness test

  • High precision: By using a diamond indenter, very precise hardness values ​​can be determined.
  • versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and hardness ranges.
  • Accredited: Our tests meet the highest quality standards and are certified according to DIN EN ISO 6507-1 accredited.

With our accredited Vickers hardness test to DIN EN ISO 6507-1 we guarantee that your materials have the required mechanical properties and meet industrial requirements.
