Hardness testing is the most frequently used testing method in materials testing. There is hardly a metallic component in industrial production that is not hardness tested during the manufacturing process. From simple sewing needles to aerospace components, hardness testing is an integral part of quality assurance. Nevertheless, knowledge regarding the necessary boundary conditions and the testing accuracy of hardness testing is often limited.

Provision of theoretical and practical knowledge on materials testing, heat treatment, and materials technology. A key focus alongside theory is practical exercises.
A well-equipped testing laboratory is available for this purpose. All testing procedures can be practiced and learned on both modern and older, common testing machines.
It is important to us that participants can safely and effectively apply the various testing methods for heat treatment monitoring in their daily work in the testing laboratory to make reliable testing decisions.
