Micro Hardness Testing

MicroHardness Test - Vickers hardness TestThe term Micro Hardness Testing refers to static indentations made by loads of 1kgf. or less. The Vickers Hardness Test employs a diamond with an apical angle of 136°. The test surface is usually highly polished. The smaller the force applied the higher the metallographic finish required. This is a Backsckattered Image with Vickers impression on crystal, where the typical diamond shape is observed.
