• Engineers can use hardness testing to verify the composition or heat-treatment history of materials. • Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and Shore are common hardness tests. Their use depends on the ...
Shore testing accurately measures the hardness of elastomeric and plastic material, including adhesives. The two scales most frequently used for determining Shore hardness when materials are compared ...
In this interview, AZoM talks to Christine Desplat, R&D Engineer at Master Bond, about how to test the hardness of adhesives. Hardness is typically indicative of an adhesive's overall functionality.
