Hardness Testing provides an important indication of a material’s mechanical properties and its suitability for a particular application. NNDT provides non-destructive hardness measurement to assist clients in verifying material condition, heat treatment requirements and component integrity. Hardness testing can be used during manufacturing, fabrication, maintenance and failure investigations, providing valuable information without compromising the component being examined. The results can assist engineers and inspectors in confirming that materials meet specified requirements and identifying changes that may indicate overheating, incorrect heat treatment or material degradation.
