In Reply to:hardness testing electroless nickel plating. posted by Steven Grahn
: Hi,
: So, how is hardness determined on electroless nickel plating (plating applied over hardened A2 tool steel hardned to 55-60 HRC).
: plating .005-.010 MM thick
: What scale? test method?
: any and all help appreciated.
Hi Steven
The Vickers hardness test would be best as I think the coatings are to thin to test using Rockwell or even Rockwell superficial methods.
Regards Gordon
