Meyer hardness test

The Meyer hardness test, also known as the Meyer hardness scale or Meyer hardness measurement, is a method for evaluating the hardness of materials, particularly metals. It is based on the principle of indentation hardness, where a specific indenter is pressed into the surface of a material under controlled conditions. ### Key Features of the Meyer Hardness Test: 1. **Indenter**: It typically uses a pointed indenter, often made of steel or diamond, that creates a small indentation in the material.
