Hardness is defined as resistance to indentation. Hardness is not a functional physical property, it’s a characteristics of a material. Hardness is calculated by measuring the permanent depth of the indentation. Hardness testing machines is used to measure the hardness of a material in order to determine its suitability.
Hardness testing machines is also used to evaluate the coating layer and material integrity of an equipment. There are mainly three types of hardness test methods, the Brinell hardness test, the Rockwell hardness test, and the Vickers hardness test. Among these, Rockwell hardness test is consider to be most widely used technique and provides more precise evaluation as compared to other processes.
However Brinell hardness test is carried out when the subjected material is too coarse or too rough exterior and Vickers hardness test is carried when the material is very thin or have very small surface area. Hardness testing machines plays an important role and finds huge application in wide range of industries including construction, mining, automotive, aerospace, energy & power, and metalworking etc.
Owing to increasing demand of advanced material testing methods, hardness testing machine is estimated to witness a rising demand during the forecast period. This in turn is anticipated to positively impact the global hardness testing machine market.
