Hot Hardness Testing

What is hot hardness testing?

热硬度测试测量材料在高温下的硬度. Hot hardness can be valuable for assessing and comparing materials, such as tool steels and wear-resistant coatings, 哪些用于高温应用,如阀座和染料. Element conducts hot testing similarly to normal Vickers hardness testing, 除了测试是在能够提供高达1摄氏度的高温的真空室中进行,600F.

How is hardness testing measured?

Hardness can be measured through various techniques, with surface hardness being the most common approach. 这是通过评估材料对其外层的渗透或压痕的抵抗力来实现的. Additionally, 硬度测试可以深入了解材料的内在硬度, extending from "edge to core.“这种方法确保了对材料结构完整性的深刻理解.
