Hardness is a fundamental material property that describes a material’s ability to resist deformation, indentation, abrasion, or surface damage when subjected to external force. At Alphalab Rajkot, our experienced professionals conduct hardness testing based on the material type and its intended application, using advanced equipment that is accurately calibrated to the correct hardness scales.

Because hardness testing is fast, cost-effective, and minimally destructive, it is one of the most widely used methods in material evaluation. Engineers rely on hardness measurements for material selection, quality control, batch verification, process evaluation, and comparison across multiple samples. In many cases, hardness values also show a strong correlation with other mechanical properties, including tensile strength, making this test highly valuable in material analysis.

Alphalab Rajkot specializes in static deformation hardness testing in compliance with a broad range of national and international industry standards. These methods typically involve pressing an indenter of known geometry and load into the surface of the test material. The applied force and resulting indentation depth are precisely measured and used to calculate the hardness value at a specific location. To ensure accuracy and consistency, multiple indentations are performed to determine an average hardness value for the sample.

Our team also provides professional surface preparation for all hardness testing methods and offers expert guidance to help you select the most appropriate testing technique for your project requirements.
