3 -1-1. FOREWORD This report summarises the results of a proficiency testing program on the hardness properties of metals. It constitutes the eighth round of an ongoing series of programs. Proficiency Testing Australia (PTA) conducted the testing program in May The aim of the program was to assess laboratories' ability to competently perform the nominated tests. The Program Coordinator was Dr M Bunt. The Technical Adviser was Mr G Pownall, ARL Laboratory Services Pty Ltd. This report was authorised by Mrs F Watton, PTA Quality Business Development Manager. 2. FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM (a) A total of 14 laboratories participated in the program, all of which returned results for inclusion in the final report. Laboratories from the following countries received samples: 11 AUSTRALIA 1 HONG KONG 1 MALAYSIA 1 SAUDI ARABIA To ensure confidential treatment of results, each laboratory was allocated a unique random code number. Reference to each laboratory in this report is by its code number. (b) The results reported by participants are presented in Appendix A. (c) (d) (e) Each laboratory was provided with a steel sample, approximately 60 mm in diameter and 30 mm thick. The sample was to be tested for Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell B hardness testing. Laboratories were requested to perform the tests according to the Instructions to Participants provided and to record the results, along with an estimate of their measurement uncertainty (MU) for each result, on the accompanying Results Sheet, which was distributed with the samples. Copies of these documents appear in Appendix C. Prior to distribution, the samples were tested for homogeneity by ARL Laboratory Services Pty Ltd. Based on the results of this testing, the homogeneity of the samples was established (see Appendix B).
4 -2-3. FORMAT OF THE APPENDICES (a) Appendix A is divided into four sections (A1-A4). Sections A1-A3 contain the analysis of results reported by laboratories for Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell B hardness. These sections contain: i) a table of results reported by laboratories for each test, with estimates of their MUs and calculated z-scores; ii) a listing of the summary statistics; and iii) ordered z-score charts. Section A4 contains information on the methods used by the participants and the surface preparations they performed. (b) (c) Appendix B contains details of the homogeneity testing. Appendix C contains copies of the Instructions to Participants and Results Sheet. 4. STATISTICAL DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM For each statistically analysed test, robust statistical procedures were used to generate the z-scores and summary statistics for each hardness determination - number of results, median, normalised interquartile range (IQR), uncertainty of the median, robust coefficient of variation (CV), minimum, maximum and range. For each participant, the robust z-score calculated for each hardness result was based on the average hardness value reported for each test. 5. OUTLIER RESULTS Robust z-scores have been used to assess each laboratory s testing performance. When calculated from single results, z-scores are used to detect excessively high or excessively low results in comparison to the consensus value (the median). Any result with an absolute z-score greater than or equal to 3.0 (i.e or 3.0) is classified as an outlier. For further details on the calculation and interpretation of robust z-scores, please see reference [1].

PTA AND TECHNICAL ADVISER S COMMENTS Consensus values (medians), derived from participants results, are used as the assigned values in this program. These values are not metrologically traceable to an external reference. The summary statistics, uncertainties of the assigned values and outliers, for each of the tests, are reported in Tables A and B above. Complete details of the statistical analyses appear in Appendix A. 6.1 Return rate All of the 14 laboratories that participated in the program returned results. Of these 14 laboratories, 11 (79%) submitted results for all three tests. The return rate for all tests is as follows: Brinell Hardness 12 out of 14 86% Vickers Hardness 12 out of 14 86% Rockwell B Hardness 13 out of 14 93% 6.2 Performance summary One or more statistical outliers were reported by one of the 14 laboratories (7%) that returned results in this round of the program. For comparison, none of the participants reported outlier results in Round 7 of this program (see Report No. 891 for more details). A total of 37 results were analysed in this program. Of these results, one (3%) was an outlier result.
7 Brinell Hardness A total of 12 laboratories tested the sample for Brinell hardness. Of these laboratories, seven tested using the AS 1816 method. Two laboratories tested using the ISO 6506 method. Two laboratories tested using the ASTM E10 method. One laboratory did not specify their method of testing (see Appendix A4 for more details). For all methods pooled, the median and standard error of the Brinell hardness results was ± 0.6 HBW. The methods were pooled when analysing the results. The CV for the Brinell hardness results for this round was 0.9%. This is lower than the CV of 1.6%, obtained for the Brinell hardness results in Round 7 of this program (see Report No. 891). One laboratory (code 14) reported an outlier result for Brinell hardness. One laboratory (code 1) obtained an absolute z-score between 2.0 and 3.0. The Brinell test involves first measuring the diameter of the impression then converting that diameter to obtain the final HBW number. It is possible that laboratory 14 mistakenly reported the raw diameter, instead of the HBW number, or made an error in their conversion. Nine laboratories reported measurement uncertainties associated with their Brinell hardness test results in this round. 6.4 Vickers Hardness Of the 12 laboratories that tested the sample for Vickers hardness, eight tested using the AS 1817 method. One laboratory tested using the ISO 6507 method. Two laboratories tested using the ASTM E384 method. One laboratory did not specify their method of testing (see Appendix A4 for more details). For all methods pooled, the median and standard error of the Vickers hardness results was ± 2.8 HV. The methods were pooled when analysing the results. The CV for the Vickers hardness results for this round was 4.2%. This is higher than the CV of 3.2%, obtained for the Vickers hardness results in Round 7 of this program (see Report No. 891).
8 -6- There were no outliers reported for Vickers hardness. Nine laboratories reported measurement uncertainties associated with their Vickers hardness test results in this round. 6.5 Rockwell B Hardness A total of 13 laboratories tested the sample for Rockwell B hardness. Of these laboratories, eight tested using the AS 1815 method. One laboratory tested using the ISO 6508 method. One laboratory used both AS 1815 and ISO Two laboratories tested using the ASTM E18 method. One laboratory did not specify their method of testing (see Appendix A4 for more details). For all methods pooled, the median and standard error of the Rockwell B hardness results was ± 0.52 HRB. The methods were pooled when analysing the results. The last round of the Hardness Testing of Metals program in which the participants tested a sample for Rockwell B hardness was Round 6. The CV for the Rockwell B hardness results for this round was 1.7%. This is higher than the CV of 1.0%, obtained for the sample tested for Rockwell B hardness in Round 6 of this program (see Report No. 870). There were no outliers reported for Rockwell B hardness. Ten laboratories reported measurement uncertainties associated with their Rockwell B hardness test results in this round.
