microhardness
noun
Definitions
- Hardness measured with an instrument having a smaller indenter and applying a lower force than the standard instrument, permitting measurements on smaller specimens or thinner sheets that are not amenable to measurement by normal instruments. Usually the indentations are so small that they must be measured with a microscope.
If you have any comments or questions about the glossary, please contact Dan Davis, editor-in-chief of The Fabricator.
