1.1 Performance and use

The digital micro-Vickers hardness tester is best suited to test metal structures,
including small parts, sheet, metal foil, high-quality wires, thin layer of hardened layer
and the plating. It can also be used to test, such as glass, jewelry and ceramics by
Rockwell test methods and test the relative power of other tests cannot be tested
non-metallic materials. In particular, it follows the structure of metals, testing, such as
induction hardening or carburization of the internal hardness of the material.
Test consists of two parts. In the first part, the diamond indenter is driven by a
known force, pressed into the surface of the tested materials. In the second part the
user measure the diagonal length of indentation, and to input measured readings to
the mainframe, and mainframe computing the corresponding Vickers or Knoop
 hardness value.

1.2 Test instruction

Vickers hardness test is relative to the material to a permanent indentation size of
the judge. Figure 1-1 describes a testing process.

The beginning of the test, tester makes indenter down until just touch the surface
of the specimen. Test Force at this point starts to load and has chosen to reach a good
setting. Hardness Tester and then choose a good insurance charge by the time the force
will remain for some time.

The final dwell time of the test force rapidly return to the initial point. Then the

turntable to 40 times the lens location, measuring indentation diagonal. The two thin

micrometer eyepieces can be separately regulated to just stuck indentation diagonal.

Users can press the eyepiece micrometer measurement of spin wheel near the input key

to the measured data input host. The host will then use the formula given in this chapter,
 and show the Vickers or Knoop hardness values.

Figure 1-3 Test principal of Vickers

Vickers hardness value is the test force divided by surface area obtained by indentation,
indentation has been regarded as having a square base surface and with the same indenter
angle of the ideal shape.

Vickers hardness values calculated by the following formula:

HV=0.102F/S=0.1022Fsin(/2)/D2=0.1891F/D2

HV--- Vickers hardness value

F--- Test ForceN
S--- Indentation surfacemm2
 D---the average of two Indentation diagonal length mm
---indenter angle =1360
If the test force units kgf, the Vickers hardness values obtained by the following formula:
HV=F/S=2Fsin(/2)/D2=1.854F/D2

1.5 Knoop hardness test principal

Knoop and Vickers testing difference is that they use a different indenter, and Vickers
need to measure the length of the diagonal 2, Knoop only measured one. Vickers indenter is
a square bottom of the pyramid-shaped indenter, while the Knoop indenter is a
diamond-shaped bottom of the pyramid-shaped indenter with the sample surface on the
vertical indentation in the shape of a diamond, the ratio of the length of two diagonal about 7
to 1 (see Figure 1-4). Knoop indenter due to the geometric characteristics of the test force is
small the measured diagonal high precision.

Figure 1-4 Knoop hardness test principal

Indentation depth is very shallow, about 1 / 30 of long diagonal . Because of this feature,
Knoop test is applicable for testing thin coatings, surface hardening layer of thin gold,
decarburization layer and the hard brittle metal hardness.

Knoop indenter is very sensitive on the specimen surface flatness and roughness of the
specimen top and bottom of parallelism, in particular the extent of the surface polished.

Knoop hardness values calculated by the following formula:

HK=0.102F/S=0.102F/CD2=1.4509F/D2

HK---- Knoop hardness value

F---- Test ForceN
S---- Indentation projected areamm2
C---- Constant of indenterFrom the above formula (1)
D---- The length of long diagonalmm
If the pilot power units kgf, Knoop hardness values obtained by the following formula:

HK=F/S=F/CD2=14.229F/D2

6.5 Indenter
Vickers hardness test is a more sensitive hardness test, therefore, in order to ensure
accurate test results, maintaining pressure head clean and free from any wear and
tear and damage is essential. You should check the pressure every day, the head of
state, if you find that there is pressure head signs of wear or damage, replace the
pressure head. You must realize that the following points:
In the test material or have experienced excellent after the accident, the indenter
edge of the first crack or wear and tear. If you have any questions about indenter
head, please check or replace.
pressure head of the specimen is very sensitive to surface conditions. The specimen
surface must be clean, polished surface of the degree must be tested type (Vickers
or Knoop) and a uniform requirement.

6.5.1 Installation of pressure head

HVD-1000AP, HVD-1000MP hardness tester factory, random Vickers indenter has been

properly installed on the instrument. If the result of inspection, cleaning, replacement of

other reasons indenter is unloaded, then you have to re-install the pressure head.

Its installation steps are as follows

6.5.1.5 If the image is not correctly observed (Figure 6-12), you should release the screw,
slightly rotate pressure head, and then repeat steps 2-4 steps, until the correct image of the
observed.

 Note:

Strut and contact with the inner components are a key instrument in
the entire process of installation of pressure head should be careful to
prohibit excessive force causing part distortion, affecting the instrument
testing accuracy.

6.6 Inspection System Accuracy

Routine inspections carried out with the test block
Hardness blocks often used to monitor the performance of hardness is very important. In
standard packing with 1 or 2 pieces hardness block. If need more, you can buy from us /
our agents.
Check with the test pieces the following steps:
6.6.1 Select a test piece with a similar hardness value of hardness blocks.
6.6.2 place a test piece, as the same as the hardness test blocks into the platform.
6.6.3 in terms of hardness indentation, and a block on the pressure measured to see if you
come to test whether the value of the hardness block calibration value within the allowable
range of error, allowing the scope see Appendix A-hardness tester indirect test.
6.6.4 If the allowed error range shows that hardness is working properly, you can test your
work.
6.6.5 If the test results and hardness values of the block vary considerably, then check to see
your test setup and test whether the method of common methodologies and standards and
consistent.
6.6.6 If this does not solve the problem, it would continue to block a series of hardness, the
hardness values of test,
The distribution of test results to see how: It is widely dispersed, or is concentrated in a
small area?
If the test results are scattered, then the test method may be wrong, or you read in the
measurement readings are wrong. To re-read it again in Chapter 5 of "measured diagonally."
If the test result, they only concentrated in a small area, but the value of the block has a
hardness of approximately equal bias, then there is exactly what the problem is difficult to
specify. In this case, please contact your nearest SIOM maintenance providers.

Indirect Inspection Cycle

To ensure that your hardness tester accuracy over time and still the same, you need at least
annually to conduct an inspection of the hardness tester. The importance of this process,
"Appendix A: hardness tester checks," there are instructions.
Since the inspection process is a complex process, so we strongly recommend that you
let our maintenance engineers to be checked.

Appendix A-hardness tester indirect test

Hardness Tester indirectly by a standard hardness test blocks to play a series of indentation
tests. The machine frequency of inspections should be considered laboratory conditions or
laboratory test requirements, or there is due to improper use or accidents, so that the
accuracy of your hardness of doubt.
Please use the hardness of good blocks. For the indentation diagonal length and the depth of
indentation hardness ratio of less than 2.5 block, do not use.
Please use the surface has not changed the test block. For the old worn surface indentation
and re-machined blocks will change the hardness of the original calibration value.
Indirect tests of the hardness of the steps are as follows:
1. Indirect testing should be under (23 5) room temperature, with the test according
to ISO6507-3 off the standard block.
2. In the standard hardness block lay five indentation, proper protection should be 10-15
seconds load time.
3. If the force on a test, the indentation hardness of the five parameters to satisfy the
following "repetitive" and "show the value of error" two requirements, then the hardness
can be considered qualified.
4. If the force in a trial arising under the indentation diagonal length less than 20m, then
the use of indirect inspection method is not recommended. In this case, the indentation and
the indentation measurement error than the length of large, this will cause the hardness value
and a large deviation from the specified value.

Hardness indication repeatability

1. In each standard hardness block should be pressed out and measured five indentation tests
carried out according to ISO6507-1.
2. Each block of a standard hardness measured on the diagonal of the indentation of the
arithmetic average of 2 d1, d2, d3, d4, d5 according to ascending order.
3. In the specified test conditions, the hardness of the repeatability error of the difference
determined by the following: d5-d1
After inspection of the hardness tester repeatability shall meet the requirements in Table A-1,
or that the hardness tester failed.

Indication error
1. In making the required inspection conditions, the hardness of the indication error of the
difference through the following characterization:

 Of which:
H = (H1 + H2 + H3 + H4 + H5) / 5
Formula: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 is d1, d2, d3, d4, d5 corresponding hardness value
H is the hardness of the standard calibration block hardness value.
Hardness tester hardness of the maximum error is expressed as a percentage of the standard,
the error should not exceed the provisions in Table A-2 in value. Figure A-2*
