Micro Indenter (MHT)

Micro Indenter
Micro Indenter

The CSM Micro-Hardness Tester provides over three decades of normal force range and thus is ideally suited to the mechanical characterization of hard coatings, thick soft coatings and bulk materials. It provides accurate and reproducible values for the hardness and elastic modulus of a variety of materials and coatings of greatly varying thickness and hardness values.

Features

  • Automated optical microscope
  • Feedback-controlled Normal force
  • PC software package for data acquistion, analysis and storage
  • Conforms to ISO & ASTM Standards

Options

  • ConScan 3D chromatic imaging microscope
  • Temperature stage (-20 - 450°C)
  • High resolution camera
