Abstract

Diamond indenters used in a Rockwell hardness tester can dramatically affect the performance of the test. For this reason, it is important to find a method that can characterize the indenter. Current methods of verifying diamond indenter geometry have failed to thoroughly predict the performance when in use in the Rockwell tester. The paper addresses a possible method to use depth data during the test to characterzse the indenter.
