Microhardness is the hardness of a material as determined by forcing an indenter such as a vickers or knoop indenter into the surface of the material under 15 to gf load. The indenter is either the vickers diamond pyramid or the knoop elongated diamond pyramid. The mohs and file hardness tests are examples of this type.
