Hardness, although empirical in nature, can be correlated to tensile strength for many metals and alloys, and is also an indicator of machinability, wear resistance, toughness and ductility.
ASTM E Microhardness Testing Microhardness tests have been found to ast, very useful for materials evaluation, quality control of manufacturing processes and research and development efforts. Add to Alert PDF. The majority of Knoop tests of case hardness variations are conducted at forces from to gf. The indenter is pushed into the sample using a fixed load which is usually grams but loads ranging from 10 to grams may be used.
Knoop micro-hardness is used to measure ast, hardness of areas as small as 0. The sample must be polished to a mirror finish and is usually cross sectioned and mounted ASTM E3 in epoxy prior to testing.
Vickers tests at gf can be utilized for determination of the bulk hardness, but, as for any hardness test, it is recommended that a number of indents are made and the average and standard deviation are calculated, as needed or as required. Because of the large difference between the long and short Knoop diagonals, the Knoop indenter is often better suited for determining variations of hardness over very small distances compared to the Vickers indenter.
Measuring hardness close to the edges of work pieces for anomalies. Thus, the Knoop indenter is very useful for evaluating hardness gradients or thin coatings of sectioned samples. Usually the sample is cross s384, mounted ASTM E3 in epoxy, and polished to a mirror finish before testing.

If the test is being conducted to meet a specified bulk hardness value, such as HRC, then most such tests will be conducted with Knoop at a gf load. The Knoop indenter does not produce a geometrically similar indentation as a function of test force.
This method covers Knoop micro-hardness using an elongated pyramid indenter and Vickers micro-hardness using a square equilateral pyramid indenter. Results are reported in a table with up to ten qstm per sample.

Test forces in the upper range of the force range defined in 1. Microhardness tests have been found to be very useful wstm materials evaluation, quality control of manufacturing processes and research and development efforts.
These variations may be intentional, such as produced by localized surface hardening, for example, from shot blasting, cold drawing, flame hardening, induction hardening, etc. Micro constituents of assemblies.
Small Samples unable to be tested by conventional methods. Please contact our sales department for additional information or cost estimation.

We have no amendments or corrections for this standard. High surface hardness will give good wear resistance but a softer core is normally required to preserve ductility impact strength. Standards Subsctiption may be the perfect solution. Click here to request a quote.
