https://www.txinstruments.com/die-mould-hardness-tester.html Portable Mold Hardness Tester Used in Die & Mold industry Hardness is an important performance index of mold materials and finished molds. The quality of heat treatment and service performance of molds are usually judged by hardness, and the wear resistance of molds is determined by heat treatment of molds, especially surface heat treatment, and the main basis for evaluating the wear resistance of molds is hardness. The hardness test of die steel mainly aims at three situations, namely, the hardness test of die steel material, the hardness test of semi-finished die after heat treatment, and the surface hardness test of die surface after heat treatment that requires high wear resistance.
