Vickers Hardness Tests

Applied Technical Services conducts Vickers Hardness Tests on numerous materials helping determine their resistance to deformation through a relatively simple but accurate procedure. 

ATS' Vickers Hardness Tests Capabilities

Also referred to as “microhardness testing”, Vickers Hardness Testing is a simple procedure in which a diamond indenter is pressed into a material to create an impression to be measured and converted into a standard value. The testing, measurement, and analysis of the hardness of a metal is critical. Identifying the resistance to indentation helps determine the strength and heat treat condition of a material used within the industrial design process. The versatility of Vickers (when other standard testing methods such as Rockwell and Brinell are not possible due to size limitations) ensures the suitability of the testing for all solid materials.

ASTM Standards

To ensure our progression in quality assurance, ATS’s Vickers Hardness Testing procedures abide by the ASTM E92 and ASTM E384 standards, for which we maintain ISO 17025 (A2LA) accreditation. With over 12,000 specifications developed by field experts, ASTM standards are internationally recognized, creating a basis of operations for service providers throughout several professions. ATS follows ASTM and ISO 6507 Vickers testing standards to guarantee maximum accuracy of their testing results.
