When Sheffield Hallam University were trained on their new installation of a hardness tester was it because
they were testing very hard materials that they were wearing hard hats?

The Mitutoyo HM200 series hardness tester here,  is used for measuring hardness of PVD coating with hardness of over 3000 Hv.  The integration of computer based measurement software improves the consistency of the indent, very important when the indentation is in the region of 12 micron.

Yes, the material is very hard but the hats were due to extensive building and refurbishment work, set for completion in November.  At this point the microhardness tester will be relocated and Spectrographic will recalibrate it and ensure all is working correctly.


We would like to thanks our customer for their business.

Buehler Isomet 2000

Image
Spectrographic have been refurbishing metallurgical equipment for many years now, and we keep on adding to our range of second hand machines. A new addition to our range of used metallurgical equipment is the Buehler Isomet 2000 Precision Cutting machine.   Precision cutting machines cause minimal damage and deformation of the sample and are particularly suited to fragile or very soft materials. Using the correct cutting parameters the diamond saw can cut virtually any type of material, using its unique diamond cutting wheels. It is ideally suited for cutting and slicing fragile materials including inter-metallic crystal structures, semiconductor substrates with multiple layers, delicate electronic components and items which would be damaged using other methods of cutting.       The Buehler cutter can be supplied with a combination of new and used equipment to meet your full material testing requirements. ...
