6、s testing appearing in Terminology E6shall be consideredas applying to the terms used in this test method.4. Significance and Use4.1 The Barcol Impressor is portable and therefore usefulfor in situ determination of the hardness of fabricated parts andindividual test specimens for production control

7、purposes.4.2 This test method should be used only as cited inapplicable material specifications.5. Apparatus5.1 Barcol Impressor, Model 934-1 See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.5.2 IndentorThe indentor shall consist of a hardened steeltruncated cone having an angle of 26 with a flat tip 0.157 mm(0.0062 in.) in d

8、iameter. It shall fit into a hollow spindle and beheld down by a spring-loaded plunger. See Fig. 2.5.3 Indicating DeviceThe indicating dial shall have 100divisions, each representing a depth of 0.0076 mm (0.00030in.) penetration. The higher the reading, the harder the material.6. Test Parts or Speci

9、men6.1 The testing area shall be smooth, clean, and free ofmechanical damage. The surface may be lightly polished toeliminate scratches or die lines. It shall be such that it can beessentially perpendicular to the indentor during the test.NOTE 2The effect of curvature of the test specimen on the Bar

10、colImpressor readings is presented in Appendix X1, Fig. X1.1.6.2 DimensionsTest parts or specimens shall be at least1.5 mm (116 in.) thick and large enough to ensure a minimumdistance of 3 mm (18 in.) in any direction from the indentorpoint to the edge.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of

11、ASTM Committee B07 on LightMetals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B07.05 onTesting.Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2006. Published September 2006.

Calibration7.1 With the plunger upper guide backed out until it justengages the spring, place the impressor on a glass surface andpress down until the penetrator point is forced all the way backinto the lower plunger guide. The indicator should

14、 then read100 6 1. If it does not, loosen the locknut and turn the lowerplunger guide in or out to obtain a reading of 100.7.2 Read the hardness of a “hard” aluminum alloy referencedisk supplied by the manufacturer of the impressor and, ifnecessary, adjust so that the reading is within the range mar

15、kedon the disk.7.3 Repeat the process with a “soft” reference disk.7.4 If the reference readings cannot be obtained, subsequentmeasurements are not valid.8. Procedure8.1 Support the test parts or specimens on a hard, firmsurface if they are likely to bend or deform under the pressureof the indentor

16、(Note 3). The indentor must be perpendicular tothe surface being tested.NOTE 3Curved surfaces may be more difficult to support. When theload is applied, bending and spring action in the part or specimen shouldbe avoided.8.2 Grasp the impressor firmly between leg and point sleeveand set both on the s

17、urface to be tested. For irregular parts orsmall specimens this may require the impressor leg to beshimmed so that the indentor will be perpendicular to the testsurface.8.3 Quickly apply by hand sufficient pressure (4 to 7 kg, or10 to 15 lb) on the housing to ensure firm contact with the testspecime

18、n and record the highest dial reading to the nearest 0.5division (Note 4). Take care to avoid sliding or scraping whilethe indentor is in contact with the surface being tested.NOTE 4For relatively soft materials, the dial may indicate some drifttoward lower numbers with time after the initial pressu

19、re. For this reasonit is recommended that readings be made quickly and that the highestobserved value be used.8.4 Impressions should not be made within 3 mm (18 in.) ofthe edge of the part or specimen or of other impressions.9. Report9.1 The report shall include the following:9.1.1 Identification of

20、 material tested,9.1.2 Model and serial number of impressor,9.1.3 Number of readings taken,9.1.4 Average of hardness values rounded to the nearestwhole scale reading, and9.1.5 Date of test.10. Precision and Bias; Number of Readings10.1 Application of portable impressors such as the Barcolwill produc

21、e greater variation in hardness readings than stan-dard fixed-frame procedures such as Test Methods E 10 andE18. On homogeneous materials, three readings are needed tomaintain a variance-of-average of 0.28 at an 80 Barcol reading;for the same variance-of-average at 50 Barcol, six readings areneeded.

22、 Table 1 shows the recommended sample sizes to obtaincomparable variance at other hardness levels.NOTE 5These findings were obtained with a round robin conducted ina workshop with all participants present. Eight plastic materials ofdifferent hardness were evaluated with six different Barcol (934-1)I
