Study on hardness of ceramic cup, glass cup, plastic cup by using digital Micro Vickers hardness tester.

Abstract

Because the researcher had doubts about the quality of hardness and durability of polymer materials as a guideline for material structure development. The researchers therefore began to perform digital micro vickers hardness tests (HVS-1000 digital micro vickers hardness taster) of containers made from three different polymer materials: plastic from printers; 3D compared to commercial glass and ceramics. The results showed that plastic cup containers had a hardness and durability of approximately 25.80 HV, which was lower compared to commercial ceramic and glass cup containers. with a hardness of 167.06 HV and 569.30 HV respectively, so the tester will use the results of this test to develop and research the structure of the material in the future.
