EN 10328 is the European test method for the conventional (effective) depth of hardening of iron and steel after surface hardening. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 10328 Covers
It determines the case depth produced by surface heat treatments such as induction or flame hardening, based on a hardness limit.
How the Test Is Run
A hardness traverse is made from the surface inward on a prepared cross-section, and the depth to a defined hardness value gives the effective case depth.
Why It Matters
Case depth governs the wear and fatigue performance of hardened surfaces; a hardness tester and prepared metallographic sections are essential.
