24、4).4. Significance and Use4.1 The Brinell hardness test is an indentation hardness testthat can provide useful information about metallic materials.This information may correlate to tensile strength, wear resis-tance, ductility, or other physical characteristics of metallicmaterials, and may be usef

25、ul in quality control and selection ofmaterials.4.2 Brinell hardness tests are considered satisfactory foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, and have beenused extensively in industry for this purpose.4.3 Brinell hardness testing at a specific location on a partmay not represent the physical

26、 characteristics of the whole partor end product.5. Principles of Test and Apparatus5.1 Brinell Hardness Test PrincipleThe general principleof the Brinell indentation hardness test consists of two steps(see Fig. 1).5.1.1 Step 1The indenter is brought into contact with thetest specimen in a direction

27、 perpendicular to the surface, andthe test force F is applied. The test force is held for a specifieddwell time and then removed.TABLE 1 Symbols and DesignationsSymbol DesignationD Diameter of the ball, mmF Test force, NFkgfTest force, kgfFkgf51gn3 Fwhere gnis the acceleration due to gravity.gn= 9.8

TheBrinell hardness value is derived from the mean of the diametermeasurements.5.2 Brinell Testing MachineEquipment for Brinell hard-ness testing usually consists

30、of a testing machine, whichsupports the test specimen and applies an indenting force to aball in contact with the specimen, and a system for measuringthe mean diameter of the indentation in accordance with theBrinell hardness test principle. The design of the testingmachine shall be such that no roc

31、king or lateral movement ofthe indenter or specimen occurs while the force is beingapplied. The design of the testing machine shall ensure that theforce to the indenter is applied smoothly and without impactforces. Precautions shall be taken to prevent a momentary hightest force caused by the inerti

32、a of the system, hydraulic systemovershoot, etc.5.2.1 See the Equipment Manufacturers Instruction Manualfor a description of the machines characteristics, limitations,and respective operating procedures.5.2.2 AnvilsAn anvil, or specimen support, should beused that is suitable for the specimen to be

33、tested. The seatingand supporting surfaces of all anvils should be clean and freeof foreign material. Typically, anvils need only be replaced ifthey fail to support the test surface perpendicular to theindenter, or they are deemed unsafe.5.2.3 IndentersIndenters for the Brinell hardness testshall be

34、 tungsten carbide balls of four allowed diameters (1,2.5, 5 and 10 mm). Indenters shall meet the requirementsdefined in Annex A3.5.2.4 Oil, dirt, or other foreign materials shall not beallowed to accumulate on the indenter, as this will affect thetest results.5.2.5 Measurement DeviceThe measurement

35、device usedfor the measurement of the diameter of Brinell indentationsmay be an integral part of the hardness machine or a separatestand-alone instrument. The allowable measurement devicesare classified into two types. The Type A device includesmicroscopes having movable measuring lines with some ty

36、peof indicator or computerized measuring system, or an imageanalysis system. The Type B device is a hand-held microscope(usually 203 or 403) with fixed measuring lines.5.2.5.1 Type A DeviceThe acceptable minimum resolutionfor a Type A device shall be as given in Table 2.5.2.5.2 Type B DeviceThe acce

37、ptable maximum spacingbetween the graduated lines of Type B devices shall be as givenin Table 2. Type B devices shall not be used for measuringindentations made with 2.5 mm and 1 mm ball indenters.5.3 VerificationBrinell testing machines and indentationmeasurement devices shall be verified periodica

38、lly in accor-dance with Annex A1.5.4 Test BlocksTest blocks meeting the requirements ofAnnex A4 shall be used to verify the testing machine inaccordance with Annex A1.5.5 Brinell Hardness ScalesThe combinations of indent-ers and test forces define the Brinell hardness scales. Thestandard Brinell har

39、dness scales and test forces are given inTable 3, corresponding to force-diameter ratios (see Table 1)of1, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 and 30. Brinell hardness values should bedetermined and reported in accordance with one of thesestandard scales. Other scales using non-standard test forcesmay be used by speci

40、al agreement. Examples of other scalesand the corresponding force-diameter ratio (in parentheses) areHBW 10/750 (7.5), HBW 10/2000 (20), HBW 10/2500 (25),HBW 5/187.5 (7.5), and HBW 5/500 (20).5.6 Calculation of the Brinell Hardness NumberTheBrinell hardness number shall be calculated from the meanFI
