Micro Vicker Hardness Testers

Micro Vicker hardness testers is specialized instruments used to perform microhardness testing based on the Vickers hardness test principle. These testers are designed to measure the hardness of small or thin samples or specific microstructural features within a material. The Vickers hardness test is named after its inventor George E. Vickers and is widely used for measuring hardness in research, quality control, and material characterization applications. Micro Vicker Hardness Testers applies a small and precise load (usually in the range of a few grams to a few kilograms) onto the material’s surface using a dead-weight or electronically controlled system. The testers can assess the hardness of microstructural features, such as grain boundaries, precipitates, and phases within materials. Researchers use micro Vickers hardness testing to study material properties and deformation mechanisms at microscale levels.
