Tooling U - SME This class presents a description of each hardness testing method, along with discussions on how to choose and perform a test, how to read hardness ratings, and how to prevent common errors. Hardness tests ensure that raw, in-process, and finished materials have the correct mechanical properties. There are many different testing methods depending on the type of material, the work environment, and the desired accuracy of the reading. This course will prepare new and practicing manufacturers to choose and conduct different hardness tests by introducing them to popular methods used in the industry.
