The Vickers hardness test method, also referred to as a microhardness test method (ASTM E-384, E92 and ISO 6507). Used across aerospace, automotive, and lab settings, the Vickers hardness tester measures a material’s resistance to deformation using a diamond-shaped indenter. Its consistent results and wide applicability make it a key method in quality control and materials research.
