NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND APPLICATIONS IN HARDNESS METROLOGY
Konrad Herrmann
Abstract:
The overview on the development tendencies clarifies that the main developments refer to the increase of productivity and of the accuracy of measurements. With the development of new materials also new optimum hardness measuring methods are developed. Great efforts are undertaken to enlarge the information content of hardness measuring methods. In this connection great perspectives can be ascribed to the instrumented indentation test.
