Micro Vickers Hardness Testing

The Micro Vickers Hardness Test determines the hardness of materials using a precisely controlled load applied through a diamond-shaped indenter. It measures the diagonal length of the resulting indentation to calculate hardness at a microscopic scale. This method is ideal for thin coatings, microstructures, and small or delicate samples where conventional hardness testing is unsuitable
