Why Micro Hardness Testing Matters
Micro hardness testing is critical for verifying material performance, detecting inconsistencies in alloys, and ensuring compliance with safety standards in high-stakes environments. It identifies issues like improper heat treatment, weld quality defects, or fatigue risks, adhering to ASTM E384 and other industry benchmarks to prevent failures in aerospace components, oil & gas pipelines, and engineering structures.
AADFW’s Approach
At AADFW, we elevate micro hardness testing through our NADCAP-accredited processes, delivering unmatched precision via state-of-the-art equipment and expert metallurgists. Unlike slower global labs or inconsistent local providers, we prioritize rapid results, often within days, while maintaining rigorous quality controls trusted by aerospace and oil & gas professionals for mission-critical analysis.
Service Capabilities
- Vickers microhardness testing (HV) for general applications, measuring indentation resistance on small-scale samples.
- Knoop microhardness testing (HK) ideal for brittle materials, thin coatings, and elongated indentations to assess anisotropic properties.
- Automated testing with digital imaging for high-volume projects, ensuring repeatable accuracy across welds, heat-affected zones, and surface treatments.
- Compliance with ASTM E384, ISO 6507, and other standards, including custom load ranges from 100g to 10kg.
- Detailed reporting with hardness profiles, micrographs, and failure analysis insights.
