Diamond Indenters
Knoop Method
The Knoop method is used to determine the hardness of materials that are prone to damage when tested with harder indenters. This method uses a rhombohedral indenter, which minimizes material...
Rockwell Method
The Rockwell method is one of the fastest and most convenient techniques for measuring the hardness of metals, alloys, and even some plastics. It uses a diamond cone or steel...
Vickers Method
The Vickers method is used to measure the hardness of materials with high accuracy, including hard alloys, glass, ceramics and even thin coatings. This method is based on the use...
