5 PROCEDURE

5.1 METHOD OF HARDNESS MESSURING


1. Grind the hardness test area flush with the base metal. A smooth, relatively flat surface improves
the accuracy of hardness readings, and one method to achieve this is finish grinding with an 80 or
finer grit sandpaper disc. Do not take hardness readings on scaled or discolored areas.
2. Insert the hardness test bar into the holder with the spacing button in the extreme forward position.
3. Ensure that the hardness test block is flat on the test surface.
4. Make the impressions by striking the anvil nut squarely with a 1.4- to 2.3-kg (3.0- to 5.0-lb) hammer.
Pull the hammer away so it does not rebound or re strike the anvil.
5. Measure the impression on the weld hardness test site by placing the microscope so that the
impression is approximately in the center of the scale. Adjust the eyepiece so the scale and the top
of the impression are in sharp focus.
Measure the diameter of the impression to the nearest half division (0.050 mm [0.002 in.]); it should be
between 3.0 to 4.0 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in.) (if not, discard the hardness test and redo it).
Rotate the eyepiece 90 degrees and obtain a second diameter reading. If the two diameter readings
vary by more than 0.100 mm (0.004 in.) (i.e., the impression is oblong), discard the hardness test and
redo it. If acceptable, average the two diameter readings for the recorded result.
6. Repeat the procedure in Step 5 to measure the impression on the hardness test bar.
7. To do subsequent hardness testing, move the spacing button one notch toward the rear.
This ensures that the impressions on the hardness test bar are properly spaced and avoids double
impressions. Continue this practice for succeeding impressions until one-half of one side of the bar is
covered with impressions. Then remove and reverse the bar, and again move the spacing button to the
extreme front position.
