The test is performed using the hardness of a pencil.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pencil leads, which have a well-graded hardness ranging from 6B to 9H (a set of 17 pencils), act as a &#8220;thermometer&#8221; for coating strength.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The surface hardness test according to Wilborn-Wolff is essential to ensure the quality of the coating of metal parts. Indeed, a paint that is too soft or too hard can cause adhesion or scratch resistance problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pencil is inserted into a special instrument, simply called the Wolff-Wilborn scratchability test apparatus, which places them in a position with an inclination of 45\u00b0; at this point, the pencil is pressed onto the coating with a force slightly less than that required to break it. The hardness and resistance to scratching will then be indicated by the type of lead that will not damage the tested surface.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the surface hardness test, it is possible to evaluate the hardness of the paint and guarantee the highest quality of the work performed.
