Microhardness testing is a method of determining a material’s hardness or resistance to penetration when test samples are small, thin, or dealing with composite samples in small regions. Microhardness testing can provide precise and detailed information about surface features of materials that have a fine microstructure. However, there are some common problems that can arise when microhardness testing. We are going to go over common problems with microhardness testing, and their causes. For a lot of engineers, scientists, and testers, three terms often come into their minds when talking about microhardness testing: finicky, subjective, and time-consuming. Now, advances in computer... Continue reading
