Rajkot Lab

Hardness is a characteristic that applies to a range of materials and is defined as the resistance of the material to deformation, penetration, scratching, or other physical force. Rajkot Metlab's experts measure hardness according to the requirements of the material and its applications, with equipment precisely calibrated to the appropriate hardness scales.

The straightforward, timely, and relatively non-destruction nature of hardness testing make it one of the most popular characteristics for engineers interested in materials selection, lot verification testing, the evaluation of material processing, or the comparison of hardness values across multiple material samples. In addition, hardness values can typically be closely correlated with other material properties, such as tensile strength.

Rajkot Metlab’s expertise in static deformation hardness methods in accordance with a wide range of industry standards, most of which call for the use of an indenter of known geometry and mass which is forced into the material’s surface. The amount of force applied along with the depth of the indentation is recorded and used to calculate the appropriate hardness value for a given point on the sample. Multiple indentations are typically performed to provide a mean hardness value for the entire sample.

Rajkot Metlab can prepare the surface for each of the above methods and advise you on the most suitable method for your specific project needs.
