Rockwell Hardness Testing for Surface Hardness Validation

Rockwell Hardness Testing is used to verify surface hardness after induction hardening. This method measures resistance to indentation, ensuring that required hardness levels are achieved.

Each component is tested to confirm compliance with specified hardness values before approval.

Rockwell Testing Capabilities Include:

  • • Surface hardness verification after induction hardening
  • • HRC scale measurement for hardened steel components
  • • Batch-wise hardness validation
  • • Consistency checks across production runs
  • • Documentation of hardness results for traceability

Micro Vickers Hardness Testing for Case Depth Analysis

Micro Vickers Hardness Testing is used to measure hardness across the cross-section of a component. This is important for verifying case depth in induction-hardened parts. Hardness is measured at different depths to ensure consistent metallurgical transformation and accurate case development.

Micro Vickers Testing Benefits:

✔ Accurate case depth measurement,

✔ Hardness profiling across cross-section,

✔ Micro-level indentation testing,

✔ Verification of martensitic transformation,

✔ Support for metallurgical validation reports.

Metallurgical Microscope Analysis for Microstructure Evaluation

Metallurgical microscope analysis is used to examine the internal microstructure of hardened components. This ensures the required martensitic structure is achieved. It also helps detect any irregularities in the structure after heat treatment.

Metallurgical Analysis Covers:

✔ Microstructure examination after heat treatment

✔ Grain structure evaluation

✔ Case depth boundary verification

✔ Detection of structural irregularities

✔ Confirmation of heat treatment effectiveness.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) for Crack Detection

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface cracks in hardened components. This ensures structural integrity before components are dispatched.

MPI Testing Advantages:

  • ✔ Early detection of surface cracks
  • ✔ Non-destructive inspection method
  • ✔ Suitable for ferromagnetic materials
  • ✔ Enhanced reliability for safety-critical components
  • ✔ Quality validation for OEM requirements

Abrasive Cutting & Sample Preparation for Accurate Testing

Accurate metallurgical testing requires proper sample preparation. Abrasive cutting and polishing are used to prepare cross-sectional samples without affecting microstructure.

Sample Preparation Capabilities:

✔ Controlled abrasive cutting

✔ Precision sectioning of hardened components

✔ Surface polishing for microscope analysis

✔ Preparation for Micro Vickers testing

✔ Minimal structural distortion during preparation.
