Global Microhardness Testers Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Microhardness test is a method to determine the hardness or penetration resistance of materials, when the test sample is very small or thin, or when small areas in composite samples or coatings are to be measured. It can provide accurate and detailed information about the surface characteristics of materials, which have fine microstructure, multiphase, nonuniform or easy to crack. Microhardness tester is an advanced instrument used to characterize the mechanical properties of small samples. The Microhardness tester are precision hardness testing machine integrated with technology of optics, mechanics & computer hardware.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Microhardness Testers market finds that the global Microhardness Testers market reached a value of USD 87.37 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 83.95 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of -0.66% during the forecast period.

Microhardness Testers Drivers

The microhardness tester is a precise instrument for testing the properties of metal materials in industries such as machinery and metallurgy. Microhardness tester plays an important role in the development of iron and steel industry. In the 21st century, steel is still an irreplaceable raw material for human beings. In 2020, the output of pig iron and crude steel in China will reach 887.5 million tons and 1064.8 million tons respectively, accounting for more than half of the global output of pig iron and crude steel. At present, China is the largest steel producer and consumer in the world. Iron and steel industry is the core of global economic development and the core of sustainable development in modern society. The demand for steel is increasing in both newly industrialized countries and developed economies with relatively mature economy, which provides opportunities for microhardness tester industry.
The measurement of Microhardness Testers can be controlled by computer software. At the same time, the intensity of the light source is automatically adjusted through software input.,The information measured by the Microhardness Testers can be displayed on the large LCD screen. Using the automatic microhardness tester, the parameters can be preprogrammed and run automatically to eliminate the margin of human error and ensure complete repeatability in the test chain. With the application of computers on Microhardness Testers, the progress of science and technology will promote the development of microhardness tester industry.
