Kõvadustesti
Kõvadustesti, often translated as hardness testing, is a fundamental concept in materials science and engineering that refers to a variety of tests used to determine the resistance of a material's surface to localized plastic deformation. This deformation can be caused by mechanical indentation or abrasion. The results of hardness tests are a useful guide to the mechanical properties of a material, such as its tensile strength, elastic modulus, and ductility.
There are numerous methods for performing hardness tests, each suited to different materials and applications. Common
The choice of hardness test depends on factors such as the material being tested, its expected hardness
Hardness testing is crucial for quality control, material selection, and failure analysis. It provides a quick,
