Hardness testing

Thanks to the use of a penetration body in variable shapes and under a specific loading, the hardness test consists in setting a local distortion of the material and in determining its size and equivalent hardness.

Application fields : material conformity, welded joints analysis, welding procedures approvals, search for structures known as "fragile", wearing coats …

Microhardness testing

The tensile test consists in setting a growing stress up to failure on a test specimen in order to establish its breaking elongation, its elastic limit, its tensile strength and its reduction in area for instance.

Application fields:

• welding processes and procedures aggregation
• material conformity
• production follow-up
• characterization
• …
