I want to do the Vicker's indentation testing of my ceramic samples having loads ranging from 10 kgf to 30 kgf. The loads should have steps like 10 kgf, 12 kgf, 13 kgf, 14 kgf, 15 kgf and so on in between. Is there anywhere in India where is it possible to do? Please let me know.
I am not in India however, any Engineering University dealing with material science should have a Vickers hardness tester.
Make sure you polish well the area that you plan to do the testing.
This is important in order to see well the indention geometry.
If you have difficulties to find a Vickers system you can also look for a Knoop system wish is similar, the different is the diamond indention geometry.
I hope this of help.
