Vickers Hardness Testing

Vickers Hardness Testing evaluates the hardness of materials by pressing a diamond pyramid indenter under a specific load and measuring the diagonal length of the indentation. It provides a precise and uniform measure of a material’s resistance to deformation. This method is suitable for metals, ceramics, and composite materials with flat, polished surfaces
