Sheet Metal Hardness Tester

Sheet metal can be too thin and soft for testing with this method and it may not exceed the minimum thickness requirements which may also damage the test anvil.

Sheet metal hardness tester. The leeb portable metal hardness tester pce 900 measures the hardness of nine different metals using the leeb rebound method. Mainly used for metal materials the method is to press the specified indenter into the material under test with a certain load and compare the softness and hardness of the material under test with the local plastic deformation of the material surface. This means that with the hardness tester a firing pin bounces on a metallic surface and the intensity of the rebound is used as an indicator of the material hardness. The hardness was obtained by applying 588n pressure at the diamond cone with 120 vertex angle for testing samples.

Hardness testing rockwell brinell vickers hardness test more. Testing the hardness of sheet metal can become difficult with the rockwell method. Take a look at their rh auto series rockwell hardness tester a modular tester that is adaptable to many different types of applications. Zwickroell s bup sheet metal testing machines test these properties with drawing forces up to 1 000 kn.

In such situations. Material hardness testing determines a material s strength by measuring its resistance to penetration hardness test results can be extremely useful when selecting materials because the reported hardness value indicates how easily the material can be machined and how well it will wear. The rh auto also serves as an excellent sheet metal tester. By attaching the tube test frame the rh auto becomes a metal tube tester.

It is suitable for measuring hard metal such as tempered steel and hardened steel. Citation needed it measures the coefficient of restitution it is a form of nondestructive testing. Various retaining frames allows tests on different thicknesses. Hardness testing on thin sheets and coated metal sheets are performed to determine the surface hardness of the metal and coating.

This model can serve as a desktop hardness tester portable rockwell tester metal sheet tester metal tube tester or metal ball tester. Its light weight and small size is perfect for performing rockwell hardness tests on bulky and heavy sheet metal. It is defined as the resistance to indentation and it is determined by measuring the permanent depth of the indentation.
