Rockwell hardness testing is a method of determining the relative hardness of a material. In this test, hardness is measured by determining the depth of residual penetration by a steel ball or a ...

It’s now possible to more easily check the hardness of tiny elastomer part, thanks to a novel testing instrument with supersmall motor-driven probes. Ordinary Shore A hardness testers use a conically ...

Heat treatment is an essential technique for influencing workpiece characteristics. Several industries focus on reliable part design to avoid breaking parts, e.g. by decreasing material weight and ...
