What is Hardness?

• Resistance of a Material to
localized plastic deformation.
Objective of hardness testing
 The principal purpose of hardness test.

 inspection for metals and alloys.

 ultimate strength.
TEST PROCEDURE
Types of Hardness Test

Scratch Hardness Test


Indention Hardness Test
Rebound Hardness Test
• Result depend on impact and rebound
Hardness Test and it’s Types of Procedure

• Brinell Hardness Test


• Rockwell Hardness Test
Macro • Vickers Hardness Test

• Vickers Hardness Test


• Knoop Hardness Test
Micro

• Berkovich Hardness Test

Specimen Requirements:

The specimen should be polished (micro


hardness testing) or precision-ground (macro
hardness testing)

Clamping
Indenters and types and why it’s important
BRINELL HARDNESS TEST
Brinell Hardness Number

Formula Procedure

• A well structured Brinell hardness


number reveals the test conditions, and
looks like this, "75 HB 10/500/30" which
means that a Brinell Hardness of 75 was
obtained using a 10 mm diameter
hardened steel with a 500 kilogram load
applied for a period of 30 seconds.

Advantages Disadvantages

• The flat irregular metal surface • not suitable for small size objects
does not affect due to large indenter impression.
• sensitivity • Accuracy
• powder metallurgy and cast • Not suitable for thin objects
• heavy load • flat surfaces
• Visual stablity • Time
• human error
• Longivity of metal
Application
• Mild Steel
• Aluminum
• Low carbon Steel
• Copper
ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST
Test Procedures
Formula

Procedure
• Step 01- Minor load
• Step 02 - (Major + Minor) load
• Step 03 – Elastic Recovery
• e = Final location – Preliminary location
• Equation- HR = (0.2 – e) 500
Advantages

• no specimen preparation required


• no optical evaluation required
• Quick
• Non-destructive testing
Disadvantages

• Not accurate
• Indenter Unknown effects on
materials
VICKER HARDNESS TEST
Vickers Hardness Number

Formula Procedure

• uses a square base diamond pyramid as


the indenter.
• Basic principle as the Brinell tester.
θ
2𝑃( 2) 1.854𝑃
• 𝑉𝐻𝑁 = =
𝐿2 𝐿2
PROCEDURE:

The small pyramid shaped diamond


indenter with an apical angle of 136°, which
is pressed into the test sample at a
predetermined load. The resulting
indentation is then measured in both axis
from tip to tip.
ADVANTAGES

 The Vickers method can be used with


any and all materials and test specimens,
from soft to hard, as the procedure
covers the entire hardness range.

 There is only one type of indenter, which


can be used for all Vickers methods.

 Non-destructive testing is possible, so the


test specimen can be used for other
purposes.
Knoop Hardness Test

Procedure

Step - In the Knoop hardness test, an


optical method, the size of indentation left
by the indenter is measured

Formula
