Vickers Hart

The Vickers Hardness test measures a material's resistance to denting or scratching by pressing a diamond-shaped indenter into its surface with a specific force. After creating an indentation, the size is measured to determine the hardness value. It is a precise way to compare how tough different materials are, whether metals, ceramics, or composites. The Vickers test is suitable for small or thin samples and provides consistent results across various materials. Essentially, it tells you how resistant a material is to deformation or wear under applied pressure.
