With dedicated sales, manufacturing, and research & development facilities located around the world, including the Americas, Europe, and Asia we are always close to you. Rockwell Hardness Testers The Rockwell test is based on the difference in indentation depth between a smaller preliminary force (minor) and larger total force (major). Rockwell hardness values are expressed as a combination of a hardness number and a scale symbol representing the indenter and the minor and major loads. The hardness number is expressed by the symbol HR and the scale designation. Rockwell testing requires no optical measurement and so has excellent speed and reproducibility.

9 VICKERS/KNOOP HARDNESS TESTERS Knoop and Vickers tests are performed by pressing an indenter of a specific geometry into the test surface at a known test force for a specified time. After removing this force, the size of the resulting impression left in the material is measured optically. The size of the indent is used to calculate hardness. The Vickers indenter is a square based pyramid, and is best for comparability of hardness across a wide range of materials and loads. The Knoop indenter is an elongated rhomboid and is usually used when very shallow or closely spaced indents are required. This form of test machine is often split into two categories: Macro- and Micro-Hardness. Macro Hardness testing (using loads greater than 1kg) produces larger indents and is suited to testing general materials properties. This is usually only done with Vickers type indenters. Micro Hardness testing uses loads less than 1kg and is used to test small areas, when multiple indents need to be made close to each other (e.g. to assess changing hardness), for testing close to edges or interfaces, or for thin samples. Both Vickers and Knoop indenters can be used in this test range. Applications: Ferrous, steel & non ferrous metals IC wafers Thin plastics Metal foils & laminates Platings Coatings Surface layers Heat treatment effects Case depth Carburized layer depth Ceramics Carbides Hardness from welding to deposition Comparison Chart Tukon 1102/1202 VH1150 Automation Wilson VH3100 Wilson VH3300 Load Range kgf kgf kgf kgf kgf Scale Vickers, Knoop Vickers, Knoop Vickers, Knoop, Brinell, Rockwell Vickers, Knoop Vickers, Knoop Test Load Control Dead weight Dead weight Closed Loop, Loadcell Closed Loop, Loadcell HARDNESS TESTING Visit for ordering information. 87

22 BRINELL HARDNESS TESTERS The Brinell test consists of applying a constant load or force, usually between 62.5 and 3000Kgf, for a specified time (from seconds) using a 2.5, 5 or 10mm diameter tungsten carbide ball. The load time period is required to ensure that plastic flow of the test material has ceased. Lower forces and smaller diameter balls are sometimes used in specific applications. After removal of the load, the diameter of the recovered impression is measured using a low power microscope or automatic measuring device. The actual Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) is calculated by factoring the indent size and the test force however it is not necessary to make the actual calculation for each test. The BH3000 tester can calculate Brinell hardness directly by simply typing in the indent size measured using the external measuring microscope. Alternatively, we also offer an automatic PC based measurement system.
