MIC 20

The MIC 20 is a versatile two-in-one tester combining the UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) and rebound test methods. The UCI method tests small and complex shaped parts comprised of fine-grained metals, while the rebound method is preferred for larger, coarse-grained forgings and castings.

MIC 20 Hardness Tester

Products Features

  • Combined hardness tester for quasi-static hardness testing according to the UCI method (ASTM A1038) and dynamic hardness testing according to the rebound method (ASTM A956)
  • UCI probes for hardness testing of fine-grained materials having different masses and shapes or heat-treated surfaces.
  • Rebound impact devices for hardness testing on large, coarse-grained components, forgings, and cast materials
  • Automatic scale conversion to HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HS, HL and N/mm2
  • Operation by keys and/or integrated touch screen, easy input of alphanumerical data
  • Power supply: mains adapter (100 V - 240 V) or NiMH battery pack MIC 20-BAT (internal charging)
  • Internal data memory for approx. 5,000 measurement series
  • Quick and easy calibration to various test materials. Calibration data are saved and can be recalled
  • Non-directional measurement without input of any correction factors
  • Large color TFT display shows all necessary information during measurement, such as average, single value, or statistical data at a glance
  • Clearly arranged data memory to save measurement results in an easy and structured way. Measurement series can be recalled and edited.

Applications

    • UCI testing:
      • Ready-assembled machines
      • Heat-affected zone of a weld (e.g. pipeline)
      • Heat-treated surfaces (e.g. tooth flanks)
      • Coatings (e.g. rotogravure cylinders)
    • Rebound Hardness testing:
      • Machine parts or motor units made of steel and cast aluminum alloys
      • Solid, coarse-grained components having a surface as rolled
      • Large series parts during production
      • Heavy forgings
