Description
With memory function / probes interchangeable / 136 ° Vickers diamond
The UCI hardening meter PCE-3500 serves for the non-destructive hardness measurement of metallic components. The UCI hardness meter works according to the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance method. The UCI method stimulates a Vickers diamond at the test probe with self-resonance. By pressing on the test probe, the oscillation frequency is attenuated according to the hardness of the surface and depending on the E-module of the material and the contact surface. Based on the resulting frequency shift, the hardness of the surface can be determined taking into account a material characteristic curve.
The UCI hardness meter works without any damage. Although a microscopic impression is created in the surface, it is not normally visible to the eye. Due to the low penetration depth of the Vickers diamond, the UCI hardness meter is particularly suitable for edge-layer hardened components such as those produced during nitriding or induction hardening. Typical applications include punching tools, presses, thin-walled components, gears, turbine blades, Camshafts or welds. However, the UCI hardness meter is also suitable for many other applications in the field of hardness testing. Different applications can be covered thanks to exchangeable probes with different contact forces.
After measuring the hardness of a component, the UCI hardness meter PCE 3500 shows various statistical values such as min./max. And average values. Standard deviation and other coefficients can also be determined, and a histogram can also be displayed. Since the UCI hardness meter has an internal memory, the measurement data can be evaluated after the measurement via a software.
