Vickers Hardness Testers
The Vickers Hardness Test was developed in 1924 by Smith and Sandland at Vickers Ltd as an alternative
to the Brinell method to measure the hardness of materials. The Vickers test is often easier to use than
other hardness tests since the required calculations are independent of the size of the indenter. The indenter can
be used for all materials irrespective of hardness. The basic principle, as with all common measures of hardness,
is to observe the questioned material's ability to resist plastic deformation from a standard source. The Vickers
test can be used for all metals and has one of the widest scales among hardness tests.
