The invention discloses a durometer for measuring the variable-temperature hardness of a metal material, and belongs to the technical field of metal material mechanical property testing instruments. The durometer is used for measuring the hardness of the metal material under the variable temperature environment. According to the technical scheme, an embedded heating body is adopted as a heating source, the embedded heating body and a heating furnace shell are isolated and insulated by nanometer heat insulation materials, water-cooling pipelines do not need to be installed, the structure is simple, operation is convenient, and the service life is long; high-purity nitrogen or argon is adopted as the protective atmosphere, and the sample surface is prevented from being oxidized; a thermocouple and a temperature controller are adopted for controlling the heating temperature, and the highest heating temperature of a hearth can reach 1000 DEG C. The durometer is the initiation for measuring the hardness of the metal material under the variable temperature environment, the problem that the variable temperature hardness of the metal material cannot be measured continuously is solved, the new testing means is provided for online measurement of the material variable temperature mechanical performance, the durometer has the advantages of being convenient to operate and accurate in measurement, and hardness value determination under various metal material variable temperature environments can be achieved.
