Hardness is a fundamental mechanical property that gives rapid information on material strength, heat-treatment condition and hardening tendency in the weld zone (HAZ). We offer measurement with portable instruments on site and in partner laboratories in the workshop.
Scope
- Portable Leeb (EN ISO 16859) and UCI hardness testing for large parts and site applications
- Weld zone hardness surveys (EN ISO 9015-1) for WPQR and PWHT verification
- Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell laboratory measurements
- Verification after heat treatment (normalising, tempering, stress relief)
- Material mix-up checks and PMI (positive material identification) support
