Microhardness Testing Unit

Specifications:

•  Model No.: MMV-SA make Micro Mach Technologies

• Dwell Time:   1 - 99 seconds settable and Standard test load range - 10 gm to 1 kg.

• Magnification:  100X for scanning and 400X for measurement.

•  Indentation cycle consists of  motorized loading and releasing

• Measuring eyepiece:  Digital filler micrometer eyepiece with 0.025 / 0.01 micron accuracy ( magnification )

• Test Table: 100mm x 100mm size with 25 mm movement in X - Y direction with micrometer head to measure travel distance.

Utility:

• The major advantage of ultrasonic microhardness testing is that it instantly measures the area of contact under indentation and hence the hardness.

• Microhardness Testing is a method of determining a material’s hardness or resistance to deformation when test samples are not suitable for macro-hardness.

Application:

• To evaluate a material's properties ad hardness which will influence strength, ductility and wear resistance.

• To measure hardness variation across the interface for surface modified specimens.

• Microhardness testing is ideal for evaluating hardness of very small/thin samples, complex shapes, individual phases of a material, and surface coatings/platings.

Instructions for performing Microhardness Testing:

• It is preferable that the samples are mounted.

Universal Testing Machine

Utility

• A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. An earlier name for a tensile testing machine is a tensometer.
