Hardness analysis and measurement laboratory
As an industrialist you wish to measure the hardness of a material in order to evaluate its performance
The hardness of a material is its degree of resistance to deformation under external pressure. Mechanical hardness tests allow to understand and anticipate the behavior of a material facing the pressures of its environment. These tests are done with a penetrator that exerts a constant force on the surface of the material, thus allowing to verify that the material used will be adapted to the final use of the product.
These mechanical tests provide essential information on the deformation threshold of a product. In particular, they allow us to know how far the part can go before it breaks and to determine its resistance to external stresses. These tests are particularly used in the analysis of metal alloys. They can also be used for polymers or elastomers.
These analysis require precise and reliable technical means as well as experienced know-how to interpret the data.
