Description

The Vickers microhardness of the doped and undoped S-benzyl isothiouronium chloride single crystals was investigated using a Vickers microhardness tester at room temperature. It was observed that, up to an applied load of 15 g, the hardness of the crystals increases with an increase in load, and thereafter it is practically independent of the indentation load. Efforts are made to improve the hardness of S-benzyl isothiouronium chloride crystal by doping. It was found that all doped crystals possess greater hardness than the undoped crystals.
