Laboratory’s Hardness Testing Capabilities Materials can have different degrees of hardness and this can affect properties like friction and wear characteristics during use. The laboratory has a range of hardness testing instrumentation to evaluate metals, plastics, rubbers and certain coatings depending on their thickness. Two types of hardness testing equipment for metals and alloys are available:-
Hardness testing can be used a fast and cost effective alternative to tensile testing. A hardness test can be used to estimate the ultimate tensile strength UTS of steels. This approach is not valid for non ferrous materials though. For rubbers, plastics and some polymeric coatings two other tests are available:
