3,How many testing methods are there for the indentation device?
------indentation method
------"fast, accurate and simple" tests of mechanical properties and residual stress on site
Three features:
1. Small size- as light as 3 kg, and only 30cm high
2. Small testing point- as deep as 100um
3. Small damage- as wide as ~200um
4,Can indentation tester be used for all kinds of materials? Are there any materials not
applicable?
--------Metal and some non-metallic materials
5,What are the advantages and disadvantages of the indentation tester compared with
traditional equipment?
--------No need to stop the machine, non-destructive testing with accurate results on site in 10 minutes.
--------Need to stop the machine and cut specimens for inspection to get accurate results after about 2 days.
6,How to ensure the accuracy of the testing result?
-------Standard sample verification
-------Implement domestic and international production, manufacturing, testing, and measurement standards.
-------Compared with correlation verification testing results of traditional laboratory instruments, deviation
is less than 5%.
7,What is the working principle of the tester? How does it measure the hardness and
elasticity properties of materials?
-------By pressing the load and depth curves, an innovative core algorithm model is used to calculate the
mechanical performance indicators and parameters.
8,Are there any successful cases of the indentation tester?
--------It provided the residual stress testing results of metal materials during heating treatment and welding
process for many large manufacturers of petroleum and petrochemical equipment to assist their engineering
team to optimize the technical solutions.
--------It helped inspection and testing institutions of special equipment in various provinces and regions to
improve their testing reports from multiple levels with more fair, detailed and objective results.

Is it possible that the result of one testing point is with different numerical value from the
other points?
-------Accurate testing and measurement provide objective feedback on the mechanical performance
indicators of metal materials.
-------The characteristics of metal materials are consistent both on the surface and on the inside. By testing
the surface mechanical properties, it is theoretically and academically traceable.
-------If mechanical properties of metal materials on the surface change, its internal microstructure will also
suffer similar deformation.

-------The whole tester comes with two years' guarantee.
-------The ball pressure head can be used about 3000 times.
-------24-hour online guidance service. Spare parts of the tester can be sent back to the manufacturer for free
replacement if the machine is under warranty. If it is not under warranty, standard spare parts can be provided,
and charges will be billed at cost.
14,How to choose the appropriate indenter and apply force when using an indentation
tester?-------Choose mechanical performance indenters or residual stress indenters based on different testing
requirements and functions.
