Introduction for Brinell hardness test blocks:
Brinell hardness test blocks:Range of 8 ~ 650 HBW,Brinell hardness measurement principle is to use a certain test
force F (N), the size of the diameter D (mm) of the quenching steel
or hard alloy ball pressure into the surface of the metal being
measured (figure 1), after the prescribed time unloading test
force, with a reading microscope to measure indentation average
diameter D (mm), and then, according to the formula and brinell
hardness HB value or D from has been prepared based on brinell
hardness scale found in HB values.
As the metal materials are hard and soft, the measured workpiece is
thick and thin, large and small, if only a standard test force F
and pressure head diameter D, will appear to some workpiece and
material inappropriate phenomenon. Therefore, in the production of
brinell hardness test, can use different size of test force and the
pressure head diameter, for the same kind of materials with
different F when testing and D, it can get the same brinell
hardness value, the key lies in the geometry of the indentation of
the similar, can establish and D F a matching relationship, to
ensure the invariance of brinell hardness.
Features:
generally speaking, the smaller the brinell hardness, the softer
the material, the larger the indentation diameter; Conversely, the
larger the brinell hardness, the harder the material, the smaller
the indentation diameter. The advantage of brinell hardness
measurement is that it has high measurement accuracy, large
indentation area, can reflect the average hardness of the material
in a large range, the hardness measured is also more accurate, the
data repeatability is strong.
Application:
brinell hardness measurement method is applicable to cast iron,
non-ferrous alloy, all kinds of annealed and tempered steel, it is
not suitable to measure too hard, too small, too thin and the
surface is not allowed to have larger indentation pattern or
workpiece.
According to the national standard (GB231-84), the ratio of 0.102f
/D commonly used in brinell hardness test is 30, 10 and 2.5.
According to the types of metal materials, hardness range and
thickness of samples, the diameter D, test force F and retention
time of test head (steel head) are selected according to the
following table (brinell hardness test specification).
Introduction for Rockwell hardness test blocks:
Rockwell hardness test is a simple and rapid hardness test method.
Rockwell hardness test method is widely used in manufacturing and
scientific research. Rockwell hardness test is to apply the test
force (initial test force and total test force) on the surface of
the tested material with the standard pressure head twice, and then
press the pressure head into the surface of the sample under the
action of the test force. In total test force after a certain
period of time, remove the main test force, to keep the initial
test force under the condition of measuring depth, pressure to the
total test force down into the depth and in the early test force
under the difference between the pressure into the depth of the
residual pressure (the so-called depth) to characterize the level
of hardness, residual pressure into the depth, the greater the
hardness value is lower, and vice versa. The sign for rockwell
hardness is HR. In order to adapt to the application of different
materials, rockwell hardness scale (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L,
M, P, R, S, V...
Introduction for Vickers hardness test blocks:
Vickers hardness measurement principle is basically the same as
brinell hardness, is also based on the indentation unit area of the
load to calculate the hardness value. The difference is that the
pressure head of vickers hardness test is the regular quadric
pyramid of diamond. During the test, under the action of a certain
load, a square cone indentation is pressed on the surface of the
sample. The diagonal length of the indentation is measured and
divided by the surface area of the indentation. The value of the
load divided by the surface area is the hardness value of the
sample, represented by the symbol HV.
Vickers hardness code: HV
Unit: kN/was
Vickers hardness - a criterion for hardness of a material. It was
first proposed by British scientist vickers. With the load of
49.03~ 980.7n, press the material surface of the square tapered
diamond press with the opposite Angle of 136°, keep the specified
time, measure the diagonal length of the indentation, and then
calculate the hardness according to the formula. It is suitable for
the hardness measurement of larger workpiece and deeper surface
layer. Vickers hardness still has a small load vickers hardness,
test load 1.961~< 49.03n, it is suitable for thinner workpiece,
tool surface or coating hardness measurement; Microvickers
hardness, test load <1.961N, suitable for the hardness
determination of metal foil, very thin surface layer.
HV- is suitable for microscopic analysis. Vickers hardness (HV) is
determined by pressing a diamond square cone press with a load of
less than 120kg and a top Angle of 136° into the material surface
and dividing the load value by the surface area of the indentation
pits.
The vickers hardness tester has a wide range of measurements, from
very soft materials (several vickers hardness units) to very hard
materials (3,000 vickers hardness units).

Generally, feel elasticity is relatively large or soft products,
testers can directly determine the use of shore A hardness tester
test, such as: stationery bottles, TPU TPR plastic film bags and
other products. And feel is basically not elastic or hard can be
tested with shore D hardness tester, such as: PC ABS PP and other
products. If the degree is shaw Axx, the hardness is relatively
low, if the degree is shaw Dxx, the hardness is relatively high.
