Hardness Test
The application of hardness testing enables you to evaluate a material’s properties, such as
strength, ductility and wear resistance, and so helps you determine whether a material or material
treatment

The definition of hardness testing is ‘a test to determine the resistance a material exhibits to
permanent deformation by penetration of another harder material.’ However, hardness is not a
fundamental property of a material. Therefore, when drawing conclusions of a hardness test, you
should always evaluate the quantitative value in relation to:
• The given load on the indenter
• A specific loading time profile and a specific load duration
• A specific indenter geometry

Impact Test
Impact tests are used in studying the toughness of material. A material's toughness is a factor of
its ability to absorb energy during plastic deformation. Brittle materials have low toughness as a
result of the small amount of plastic deformation that they can endure. The impact value of a
material can also change with temperature. Generally, at lower temperatures, the impact energy of
a material is decreased. The size of the specimen may also affect the value of the Izod impact test
because it may allow a different number of imperfections in the material, which can act as stress
risers and lower the impact energy.

Tensile Test
Tensile testing is a destructive test process that provides information about the tensile strength,
yield strength, and ductility of the metallic material. It measures the force required to break a
composite or plastic specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches or elongates to that
breaking point. Tensile testing of composites is generally in the form of basic tension or flat-
sandwich tension testing in accordance with standards
