Case Hardness Measurement Methods

Case Hardness Measurement Methods Case hardness is a measure of the resistance of a material to surface indentation or wear. Case hardness is important in many applications, including the production of cutting tools, dies, drive components, gears, and parts that are constantly subjected to wear and abrasion. This article reviews the typical measurement methods used…

A Balancing Act for Differential Gaging

When we talk about differential gaging, we are usually referring to the process of using two sensing devices and combining the results into one measurement. The measured dimension is the change in the position of the two sensing components. Differential gaging has some advantages over normal, comparative measurements using a single sensing head against a…
