How many Hardness Testers do you know?

Abstract: 硬度计按复杂程度可分为简单和复杂类型。按测量硬度单位的不同,有洛氏、维氏、显微、布氏、肖氏、巴氏、里氏、韦氏等多种硬度计。根据使用方式分为便携式和台式两种。各类硬度计具有不同的应用领域:洛氏硬度计测量铸铁的洛氏硬度;维氏硬度计用于薄工件的维氏硬度;布氏硬度计适合高硬度工件;里氏硬度计便于对大型或难以拆卸的产品测量;肖氏硬度计测量橡胶的肖氏硬度;韦氏硬度计用于铝合金;巴氏硬度计用于玻璃钢。显微硬度计则用于极薄工件的硬度测量。不同的硬度计具有各自的标尺和标准,以适应不同材料和测试要求。

Hardness requirements: HS<100, HB<500, HRC<70, HV<1300, HRA(80~88), HRB(85~95), HRC(20~70)

In Rockwell hardness, A, B, and C in HRA, HRB, and HRC are three different standards, called scale A, scale B, and scale C.

The Rockwell hardness test is one of several common indentation hardness tests in use today. The initial pressure of the three scales is 98.07N (10kgf), and the hardness value is calculated according to the indentation depth. Ruler A uses a diamond indenter, and then pressurizes to 588.4N (60kgf); ruler B uses a steel ball with a diameter of 1.588mm (1/16 inch) as the indenter, and then pressurizes to 980.7N (100kgf); and ruler C uses the same diamond as ruler A as the indenter, but the force after compression is 1471N (150kgf). Therefore, scale B is relatively soft. Practice has proved that there is an approximate correspondence between the hardness value and the strength value of various hardness values of metal materials. Because the hardness value is determined by the initial plastic deformation resistance and continuous plastic deformation resistance, the higher the material strength, the higher the plastic deformation resistance and the higher the hardness value. However, the conversion relationship of various materials is not consistent.
