Measuring Toughness Using Microhardness Testers

Measuring Toughness Using Microhardness TestersBy Robert AllenMicrohardness Testers (MHT) are used to judge and signify the rigidity and stiffness of materials. This is usually done by creating a localized point of penetration by making use of a standardized rounded or pointed indenter made of carbide, diamond or hard steel. The tester is basically an instrument of accuracy used to verify the micro mechanical characteristics of thin external layer and substrates. With MHT, you can determine
