16、 Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States13. Significance and Use3.1 Portable hardness testers are used for testing materialsthat because of their size, location or other requirements suchas test point are unable to be tested using traditional fixedinstruments.3.2 Portable

17、 hardness testers, by their nature, induce varia-tion that could influence the test results; therefore, hardnessmeasurements made in accordance with this test method arenot considered to meet the requirements of E10 or E18. Theuser should compare the results of the precision and biasstudies in E110,

18、 E10 and E18 to understand the differences inresults expected between portable and fixed instruments.3.3 Two test parameters that can significantly influence themeasurement accuracy when using portable hardness testersare the alignment of the indenter to the test surface and thetiming of the test fo

19、rces. The user is cautioned to do everythingpossible to keep the centerline of the indenter perpendicular tothe test surface and to apply the test forces using the same timecycle as defined in Test Method E10 or Test Methods E18.3.4 Portable hardness testers are delicate instruments thatare subject

20、to damage when they are moved from one test siteto another. Therefore, repeating the daily verification processduring the testing sequence is recommended to insure that theyare working properly.3.5 Hardness testing at a specific location on a part may notrepresent the physical characteristics of the

21、 whole part or endproduct.4. Principles of Test and Apparatus4.1 The portable hardness tester shall be capable of applyingthe same test forces, use the same indenter types, and use thesame methods for determining and calculating the hardnessvalue as defined in Test Method E10 or Test Methods E18.4.2

22、 Portable hardness testers are generally provided withvarious means of holding the indenter in contact with thesurface to be tested. For example, the testers may be clampedto the object to be tested, attached to an adjacent fixed objector attached to the surface to be tested by a magnet. For testing

23、inside a cavity the tester may be placed against one wall of thecavity to make a test on the opposite wall.4.3 Portable hardness testers of the types covered in thismethod do not employ dead weights to apply the indentingforces. This imposes certain limitations and necessitates certainprecautions. A

24、ll requirements of the standard methods exceptthose modified by the following sections shall apply to the useof portable hardness testers.4.3.1 Portable testers are not verified by direct verification.4.3.2 A portable hardness tester does not have to undergoindirect verification each time it is move

25、d.4.3.3 Some portable Brinell hardness testers do not maintainthe force. It is very important to follow manufacturersinstructions on how to operate the portable Brinell hardnesstester.4.4 Rockwell Hardness Test Principle (see Test MethodE18)the general principle of the Rockwell indentation hard-ness

26、 test is divided into three steps of force application andremoval.4.4.1 Step 1The indenter is brought into contact with thetest piece in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and thepreliminary test force is applied. After preliminary test force,the baseline depth of indentation is measured.4.4.

27、2 Step 2The force on the indenter is increased toadditional test force to achieve the total test force.4.4.3 Step 3The additional test force is removed, returningto the preliminary test force. The final depth of indentation ismeasured. The preliminary test force is removed and theindenter is removed

28、 from the test piece. The Rockwell hard-ness value is derived in accordance with E18 from thedifference in the final and baseline indentation depths whileunder the preliminary test force.4.5 Brinell Hardness Test Principle(see Test MethodE10)the general principle of the Brinell indentation hardnesst

29、est consists of two steps.4.5.1 Step 1The indenter is brought into contact with thetest piece in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and thetest force is applied. The test force is then removed.4.5.2 Step 2The diameter of the indentation is measured.The Brinell hardness value is derived from t

30、he mean of thediameter measurements.5. Test Piece5.1 Accurate hardness test results are dependent on properpreparation of the test piece. All requirements for test piecesupon which the indentation will be made shall conform to theapplicable standard methods.6. Test Procedures6.1 A daily verification

31、 (see A1.1.3 and Table A1.1)ofthetesting machine shall be performed in accordance with theapplicable standard methods. It is recommended that dailyverification should be performed just prior to making thehardness tests at the test worksite where the hardness tests areto be made. The daily verificati

32、on should be performed with thetesting machine oriented in the position that it will be used.Repeating the daily verification between multiple tests in asequence and after a test sequence is completed is recom-mended. The purpose of performing the daily verification at thetest site is to ensure that

33、 environmental conditions(temperature), position or damage during travel and usage havenot affected the ability of the test equipment to performproperly.6.2 Relative motion between the tester and the test piecewill affect the results of the test; therefore the tester shall beheld and supported such

34、that relative motion is minimized.This is particularly true for the portable Rockwell hardnesstester. Mount the tester in such a position that the axis of theindenter is normal to the surface to be tested.6.3 Adhere to manufacturers instructions manual for theproper operating procedures and testing

35、precautions.E110 1426.4 The test procedure defined by the applicable standardmethod shall be used.7. Conversion to Other Hardness Scales or TensileStrength Values7.1 There is no general method of accurately converting thehardness numbers on one scale to hardness numbers on anotherscale or to tensile

36、 strength values. Conversions betweenhardness scales are approximations and therefore, should beavoided except for special cases where a reliable basis for theapproximate conversion has been obtained by comparisontests. The measured values (Rockwell or Brinell) must bereported as required in Section

37、 8 along with any convertedvalues, clearly marked as converted values.NOTE 2The Standard Hardness Conversion Tables for Metals, E140,give approximate conversion values for specific materials and reportingrequirements for converted values.8. Report8.1 The report shall meet the requirements of the sta

38、ndardmethod with the following additions.8.2 Reports shall reference this standard.8.3 The measured hardness number shall be reported inaccordance with the standard methods and appended with a /Pto indicate that it was determined by a portable hardness tester.Rockwell hardness examples:40 HRC/P = Ro

39、ckwell hardness number of 40 on RockwellC scale.72 HRBW/P = Rockwell hardness number of 72 on theRockwell B scale using a tungsten carbide ball indenter.Brinell hardness examples:220 HBW/P 10/3000 = Brinell hardness of 220 determinedwith a ball of 10 mm diameter and with a test force of 3000 kgf(29.

40、42 kN) applied for 10 s to 15 s.350 HBW/P 5/750 = Brinell hardness of 350 determinedwith a ball of 5 mm diameter and with a test force of 750 kgf(7.355 kN) applied for 10 s to 15 s.600 HBW/P 2.5/62.5/20 = Brinell hardness of 600 deter-mined with a ball of 2.5 mm diameter and with a test force of62.5

41、 kgf (612.9 N) applied for 20 s.9. Precision and Bias9.1 A precision and bias study was conducted in 2008 inaccordance with ASTM Practice E691 to determine the preci-sion of Rockwell and Brinell test results obtained with portableinstruments. Because of the difference in the equipment used,the Rockw

42、ell and Brinell testing were treated as two separatestudies. The full results are filed under ASTM Research ReportRR: RR:E28-104349.2 Seven laboratories were used for each study. Three ofthe laboratories were manufactures of instruments and fourwere users of the equipment. The testing for five of th

43、elaboratories was done at the November 2008ASTM meeting inTampa Florida. The remainders were done at the users facility.In some cases the testing was done by calibration agencypersonal.9.3 Separate studies were done for Rockwell and Brinelltesting machines.9.3.1 For the Rockwell scale testing, four

44、different types ofinstruments of various ages were used that were produced bythree manufacturers.9.3.2 The Brinell tests were all performed on one manufac-turers instrument since it is by far the most common used byindustry. The seven instruments used to do the test ranged froma new unit to one that

45、 was 30 years old. There were fivedifferent measuring systems used to determine the size of theBrinell indent. Two were computer controlled systems and theothers were manual scopes with 20X magnification from threedifferent manufacturers.9.4 Since the E110-82(2002) standard, which was current atthe

46、time of the study, did not clearly specify indirect verifica-tion results required of the instruments to meet the standard, noattempt was made to qualify them by verifying their overallperformance on test blocks before using them in the study. Allof the instruments used for the testing were consider

47、ed to be ingood working order and typical of those used for every daytesting.9.5 Standardized test blocks used were calibrated accordingtoASTM Test Methods E18 or Test Method E10 The RockwellHRC and HRBW and the Brinell HBW 10/3000 scales wereused. In each scale three test blocks were used, one each

48、 in thehigh, medium, and low hardness ranges. Three tests wereperformed on each test block in specific locations.NOTE 3Practice E691 requires a minimum of four (4) test blocks to beused for each study. Since the Brinell study only used three blocks, theBrinell part of this study will have to be redo

49、ne. Until then the Brinell partis considered to be provisional.9.6 A summary of the test data is shown in Table 1 andTable 2.9.6.1 The value of rPBindicates the typical amount ofvariation that can be expected between test results obtained forthe same material by the same operator using the samehardness tester on the same day. When comparing two testresults made under these conditions, a measurement differenceof less than the rPBvalue for that material is an indication thatthe results may be equivalent.9.6.2 The value of RPBindicates the typical amount ofvariation tha
