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.
