Martens Hardness - More Than Just Hardness Testing

摘要

Exemplary results of the instrumented indentation test within the macro region are presented to provide an insight into the potential of the Martens hardness test method and to deliver new knowledge. Measurements on reference test blocks are carried out using a Zwick hardness testing machine, which is equipped with digital measurement and control technology. Representative results show, for instance, the influences of test force, as is well-known from Vickers hardness, and of test parameters on the result gained. An overview describes the manifold uses of the hardness measurement head of Zwick, in R & D and in industrial applications.
