LAB 2 HARDNESS TEST OBJECTIVES (1) Make Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell Hardness Measurements on Different Materials Specimens LAB 2 HARDNESS TEST OBJECTIVES (1) Make Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell hardness measurements on different materials specimens. (2) Compare the measurements in hardness with each other. INTRODUCTION Hardness can be defined as resistance to penetration, resistance to abrasion, resistance to scratching, or resistance to cutting. These are related in that they all require plastic flow of the material. A variety of tests for hardness are in use, depending on which of the above situations is of most interest. Material properties, such as hardness can be altered to desired levels by various heat treatment procedures. Heat treatments affect the microstructure of the metal. Detailed descriptions of the changes to the microstructure can be found in material science (1) lecture notes. This experiment will include Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell tests which measure resistance to penetration. The amount of deformation that occurs when a small, hard steel ball or diamond point is pressed into a material surface at some designated load is the measure of the hardness of the material. BRINELL HARDNESS TEST The Brinell test for this experiment uses steel ball with different diameters which is pressed into a specimen by a different load that is maintained for 15 to 30 seconds. The Brinell hardness number (BHN) is calculated by: [ √ ] Where: P is the test load [kg] D is the diameter of the ball [mm] d is the average impression diameter of indentation [mm] Since the Brinell number is based on the area of indentation, the diameter of the indentation must be measured. This is done with a microscope. The scale seen through Hardness Test 1/5 the microscope is in millimeters. The larger diameter indentation corresponds to a softer material and lower Brinell number. VICKERS HARDNESS TEST The Vickers hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond indenter, in the form of a right pyramid with a square base and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces subjected to a load of 1 to 100 kgf. The full load is normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds. The two diagonals of the indentation left in the surface of the material after removal of the load are measured using a microscope and their average calculated. The area of the sloping surface of the indentation is calculated. The Vickers hardness is the quotient obtained by dividing the kgf load by the square mm area of indentation. P is the load and it can be varied from 1 to 1000 grams d is the average diagonal diameter of indentation [mm] When the mean diagonal of the indentation has been determined the Vickers hardness may be calculated from the above formula. The Vickers hardness should be reported like 800 HV/10, which means a Vickers hardness of 800, was obtained using a 10 kgf force. The advantages of the Vickers hardness test are that extremely accurate readings can be taken, and just one type of indenter is used for all types of metals and surface treatments. ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST The penetrators for the Rockwell hardness tester range from 1/2-inch diameter steel balls to very small diamond (brale) tips (points). The smaller points are used for harder materials that have a greater resistance to indentation. There are various force scales used for various materials. The Rockwell B and Rockwell C scales will be used for this experiment. The Rockwell B scale is suitable for soft engineering metals, and the Rockwell C scale is appropriate for hard engineering metals. Each scale requires a specified tip and load. The B scale uses a 1/16- inch diameter hard steel ball and a 100- kg load. The C scale uses a conical diamond point and a 150-kg load. Hardness Test 2/5 To perform the Rockwell tests, the penetrator is pressed against the specimen with an initial 10-kg preload to properly seat the penetrator. The remaining load is applied gradually after the dial on the hardness tester has been zeroed. After the penetrator has stopped moving into the specimen, the final position of the dial pointer indicates the Rockwell hardness number that is related to the depth of penetration. There are numerous scales in Rockwell test, which are made possible by the combination of different loads and indenters. The scales are identified by letters and the common scales range from A through K, with I and J left out, as given in the following table Hardness Test 3/5 MATERIALS TO BE TESTED Different materials specimens will be tested in this laboratory experiment namely: aluminum alloy, carbon steel, stainless steel, Al-alloy, commercial pure copper and brass.

Yogesh Verma (511117041) Introduction Hardness can be defined as the resistance of material to local plastic deformation on the application of some external load or stress (scratch, indentation or abrasion). Although hardness is not a fundamental property of material, hardness testing is widely used in industries because of its simplicity, faster results, near NDT testing properties, cheap procedure and many more advantages. Also, it can give a qualitative relationship to other materials properties like strength, ductility, rigidity etc. Indentation test is one of the prominently used hardness testing method where we apply a certain predefined load with the help of an indenter which penetrates into the sample surface; thus we get the hardness values by measuring the indentation depth or size of the projected indentation area. Rockwell hardness test is one of the static hardness testing methods using indentation depth as a measuring criterion. Basically, two types of indenter are used; one Diamond O spheroconical (Brale) indenter with an angle of 120 and​ a spherical tip of 0.2mm; second is ​ steel ball indenter with diameters as 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, ½ inches.

RYNIEWICZ2 1 AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, Kraków, Poland. 2 Jagiellonian University Medical College, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Kraków, Poland. Purpose: The aim of the present paper was a question of structural identification and evaluation of strength parameters of Titanium (Ticp – grade 2) and its alloy (Ti6Al4V) which are used to serve as a base for those permanent prosthetic supplements which are later manufactured employing CAD/CAM systems. Methods: Microstructural tests of Ticp and Ti6Al4V were conducted using an optical microscope as well as a scanning microscope. Hardness was measured with the Vickers method. Micromechanical properties of samples: microhardness and Young’s modulus value, were measured with the Oliver and Pharr method. Results: Based on studies using optical microscopy it was observed that the Ticp from the milling technology had a single phase, granular microstructure. The Ti64 alloy had a two-phase, fine-grained microstructure with an acicular-lamellar character. The results of scanning tests show that titanium Ticp had a single phase structure. On its grain there was visible acicular martensite. The structure of the two phase Ti64 alloy consists of a matrix as well as released phase deposits in the shape of extended needles. Micromechanical tests demonstrated that the alloy of Ti64 in both methods showed twice as high the microhardness as Ticp.

The Vickers hardness of a nitrided layer of 2 µm in the thickness was 1300, about ten times higher than that of pure tita- nium. The Martens scratch test showed high bonding strength for the nitrided layer with matrix titanium. The abrasion test using an ultrasonic scaler showed very small scratch depth and width, demonstrating extremely high abrasion resistance. The results show that a surface-nitrided titanium has sufficient abrasion resistance if it is used under clinical conditions.

  • Hardness Measurement of Copper Bonding Wire
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 75 ( 2014 ) 134 – 139 MRS Singapore - ICMAT Symposia Proceedings Synthesis, Processing and Characterization III Hardness Measurement of Copper Bonding Wire Johnny Yeunga, Loke Chee Keonga aHeraeus Materials Singapore Pte Ltd, Block 5002, Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, #04-07, Singapore 569871 Abstract In semiconductor packaging industry, thin metal bonding wires, such as gold and copper, in the diameter range of 18 to 25 microns, are commonly used to connect between IC chip and connector pins through thermosonic and ultrasonic welding (bonding) in various types of packages. Copper bonding wire posts great challenges to industry users when they need to bond it onto IC bond pad of sensitive construction underneath. Any hard impact due to the material property, i.e. hardness, or excess ultrasonic parameter setting in the bonding process can easily cause the pad to crack. It is therefore of interest to the users on how hard the copper wire is and most importantly, the subsequent solidified molten ball as a result of melting the tip of the wire in the process. A Vickers micro-indentation hardness tester with minimum load of 0.5 gmf (5mN) capability is used to measure the hardness of copper wire along its length and in the free air ball (FAB). To determine the suitable load to be used to measure hardness of such fine diameter and minimize variation in the measured results due to different sample preparation effects, a range of load from 1 gmf to less than 50 gmf was studied. © 2013 TheThe Authors.

    ME 212 LABORATORY EXPERIMENT #3 HARDNESS TESTING AND AGE HARDENING 1. OBJECTIVE Our primary aim is to measure the Rockwell Hardness values of materials and estimate ultimate tensile strengths by the aid of conversion tables. We will also focus on age hardening, the info on which can be found in the last part of this experiment sheet. 2. HARDNESS TESTING THEORY Hardness is usually defined as the resistance of a material to plastic penetration of its surface. There are three main types of tests used to determine hardness: • Scratch tests are the simplest form of hardness tests. In this test, various materials are rated on their ability to scratch one another. Mohs hardness test is of this type. This test is used mainly in mineralogy. • In Dynamic Hardness tests, an object of standard mass and dimensions is bounced back from a surface after falling by its own weight. The height of the rebound is indicated. Shore hardness is measured by this method. • Static Indentation tests are based on the relation of indentation of the specimen by a penetrator under a given load. The relationship of total test force to the area or depth of indentation provides a measure of hardness. The Rockwell, Brinell, Knoop, Vickers, and ultrasonic hardness tests are of this type. For engineering purposes, mostly the static indentation tests are used. BRINELL HARDNESS TEST: This test consists of applying a constant load, usually between 500 and 3000 kgf for a specified time (10 to 30 s) using a 5 or 10-mm diameter hardened steel or tungsten carbide ball on the flat surface of a workpiece.

    NPL REPORT CMAM 69 Results of a survey of the priorities for an increased range of UK traceable hardness scales Francis Davis August 2001 CMAM 69 August 2001 Results of a survey of the priorities for an increased range of UK traceable hardness scales Francis Davis Centre for Mechanical and Acoustical Metrology National Physical Laboratory Queens Road Teddington Middlesex TW11 0LW Abstract As part of the 1996-1999 NMS mass metrology programme, a project was launched to re- establish hardness standards for the highest priority scales. A consultative document published, in support of this re-establishment, stated that the scales supported were considered a minimum requirement, and that the future mass metrology programmes should reflect the need for an increased range of national traceable hardness scales. This report has been written as part of deliverable 2.3.3 of the NMS mass metrology programme 1999 – 2002, “to establish the priorities for an increased range of hardness scales”. These priorities were derived from the analysis of a survey of both manufacturers and users of hardness equipment. The survey was carried out during June - August 2001 and circulated to the UK hardness community by use of the distribution lists of the BSI hardness committee (ISE/NFE/4/5), BMTA members, UKAS-accredited hardness laboratories, the NPL MATC Materials Measurement flyer, and the NPL Force and Hardness Group. The survey covers traditional indentation hardness methods, rubber hardness, and the instrumented indentation method for hardness and material properties. Provided as appendices to this report are background notes on hardness scales, the questionnaire that was circulated, and a list of the organisations that responded.
