United States14.2 This practice requires the measurement of indentation depth and eliminates the

16、 need to measure the diameter of the indentoptically as required in a Brinell hardness test.4.3 This practice is not a standard Brinell hardness test method and does not meet the requirements of Test Method E10.4.4 Since the test forces and method of display of the depth measurement differ between m

17、anufacturers of rapid indentationhardness testing equipment, the test results from equipment from different manufacturers are not comparable.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing MachineEquipment for rapid indentation hardness testing usually consists of a testing machine, which supportsthe test specimen and appl

18、ies an indenting force(s) to a ball in contact with the specimen, and a system for measuring anddisplaying an indication of the depth of the indentation. The test force can be applied either as a single total test force wherebythe depth is measured usually from the surface of the test specimen or as

19、 a preliminary and total test force whereby the depth ismeasured as the increase from the preliminary to the total test force.5.1.1 The testing machine shall meet the requirements of Annex A1.5.1.2 The testing machine shall ensure that the force to the indenter is applied smoothly and without impact

20、 forces that affectthe measurement result. Precautions shall be taken to prevent a momentary high test force caused by the inertia of the system,hydraulic system overshoot, etc.5.1.3 The design and construction of the testing machine shall be such that no rotational or lateral movement of the indent

21、eror test specimen occurs while the test force is being applied or removed.5.1.4 An anvil, or specimen support, should be used that is suitable for the specimen to be tested. The seating and supportingsurfaces of all anvils should be clean and free of foreign material.5.1.5 The indenters used for ra

22、pid indentation testing shall be tungsten carbide balls that meet the requirements defined in TestMethod E10, Annex A3.5.1.6 The mechanism for measuring the depth of the indentation shall conform to the requirements prescribed in A1.3.3. Themethod for determining the depth of the indentation is dete

23、rmined by the manufacturer of the tester.5.1.7 A display or output relative to the indentation depth shall be provided. The display may indicate the full or partial depthor the depth may be converted to another relevant scale. In this case, conversion to a related Brinell hardness number isrecommend

24、ed. When used, the method of conversion from depth to another scale or Brinell hardness numbers is determined bythe manufacturer of the tester.5.1.8 Refer to the Equipment Manufacturers Instruction Manual for a description of the machines characteristics, limitations,and respective operating procedu

25、res.6. Test Specimens6.1 Rapid indentation hardness tests can be made on any test specimen that can be tested using the E10 Brinell Test Method.6.2 FinishWhen necessary, the surface on which the indentation is to be made shall be filed, ground, machined, or polishedwith an abrasive material to allow

26、 accurate depth measurements and to remove any surface conditions (such as decarburization)that may affect the hardness of the sample. Preparation shall be carried out in such a way that any alteration of the hardness ofthe test surface (for example, due to overheating or cold-working) is minimized.

27、 The surface in contact with the test support anvil,when used, should be clean and free of any conditions which may affect the test results.6.3 ThicknessThe thickness of the test specimen shall be at least ten times the depth of the indentation and such that no bulgeor other mark showing the effect

28、of the test force appears on the side of the piece opposite the indentation. See Test Method E10,Table 4 for more information about minimum thickness.7. Procedure7.1 Magnitude of Test ForceThe total test force is usually 3000, 1500, or 500 kgf (29.42, 14.71, or 4.903 kN). The preliminarytest force,

29、if used, is determined by the manufacturer of the tester. The total test force and ball indenter size used should be thesame as the Brinell scale test that is being replaced by the rapid indentation test. When selecting the total test force and ball sizeto use, refer to Test Method E10, Section 7 fo

30、r Brinell hardness testing.7.2 Spacing of IndentationsThe distance from the center of the indentation to the edge of the specimen, or edge of anotherindentation, shall be at least two and one-half times the diameter of the indentation.7.3 Application of the Test Force(s)Bring the indenter into conta

31、ct with the test surface in a direction perpendicular to thesurface without shock, vibration or overshoot. The angle between the indenter force-line and the surface of the specimen shouldbe perpendicular. Apply the test force(s) according to the manufactures instructions.7.4 Depth measurement of the

32、 indentMeasure the depth of the indentation according to the manufacturers instructions. Whenthis practice is used to monitor the hardness of production parts, it is recommended that the displayed depth indication as definedin 5.1.7 be recorded. All recorded data shall reference this practice.E103 1

33、728. Determination of Hardness Limits8.1 Rapid indentation hardness tests are normally used to test specimens in limited Brinell hardness ranges. In order to establishthe limit(s) of acceptable hardness for a given part or piece, test specimens representing the extreme(s) of acceptability should bet

34、ested in the rapid indentation hardness tester that is to be used. The results obtained may be considered the limits of applicationof the rapid indentation test.9. Report9.1 When a report is desired, it is recommended that the following information be reported:9.1.1 The total test force,9.1.2 The di

35、ameter of the ball indenter,9.1.3 The displayed value as defined in 5.1.7, and9.1.4 Reference to this practice.10.
