Microhardness Testing

Determine the hardness of your chosen sample

Figuring out the hardness of a sample and determining its resistance to penetration is key to ensuring the integrity of your chosen material. At Industrial Physics, we have a number of high-quality solutions available for use on metal and alloy parts – allowing you to feel satisfied that your chosen sample is fit for purpose. 

Microhardness testing solutions and accessories

Suitable for thin materials and metals, thin films, plated surfaces and smaller samples, microhardness testing uses loads of up to 10 N. When you need to determine the hardness of thin metals or small samples, we have a suite of test and inspection solutions to help. 

The Tru-Blue II Rockwell Hardness Tester provides highly accurate penetration measurement data perfect for testing materials such as aluminium, steel and other metals. For high quality performance when performing Vickers hardness (HV) or Knoop hardness (HK) testing, we also have the compact and accurate United Testing Tru-Blue Micro VT. 

Explore our full Tru-Blue VT suite – we don’t just provide a state-of-the-art microhardness tester; we’ll also offer all the sample preparation equipment you need to ensure your test produces accurate and repeatable results.  

Microhardness testing to match your industry

From aerospace to medical device production, microhardness testing is an essential part of the process for a huge range of industries. Get the kind of results you can be completely confident in, with quality tools and machines that are designed to meet a wide range of industry standards.
