From Sample to Solution – Simple & Fast
Micro Hardness Tester
Why do you need Micro Hardness Testing?
Paint and surface coatings can be scratched or worn out quickly, reducing product appearance and lifespan. Anodized coatings peel off or corrode prematurely, resulting in poor surface protection.
Coatings on medical and dental implants fail early, affecting performance and safety.
Electroplated parts exhibit inconsistent quality from batch to batch, leading to product rejections.
Very thin layers on PCBs crack or wear off, leading to electrical failures. Small or complex-shaped parts are difficult to test, leading to undetected defects.
Composite materials fail due to weak internal layers or poor bonding, reducing strength and durability.
Measuring micro hardness and elastic properties provides a reliable solution to these problems by enabling accurate evaluation of thin coatings, small components, and surface-treated materials.
Fischerscope HM2000 S Micro Hardness Tester
The Fischerscope HM2000 S uses instrumented indentation testing (IIT), in which a controlled force is applied to the sample surface via a diamond indenter. The system continuously records the force and penetration depth during loading and unloading.
From this data, it accurately calculates micro hardness and elastic modulus. This method enables precise testing of thin coatings and micro-scale components.
The process is fast, reliable, and minimally invasive, ensuring high-quality results.
