basic introduction
The so-called hardness is the ability of the material to resist the pressing of harder objects into its surface. According to the different test methods and adaptation scopes, the hardness units can be divided into Brinell hardness, Vickers hardness, Rockwell hardness, micro Vickers hardness, etc. Different units have different test methods and are suitable for materials with different characteristics Or occasion.
Test characteristics
Hardness testing is one of the important indicators for testing the performance of materials, and it is also one of the fastest and most economical test methods. The reason why it can become a common method of mechanical property testing is because the hardness test can reflect the differences in the chemical composition, structure and processing technology of the material. It is often used as a means of supervision in all walks of life. For example, in steel materials, when martensite is formed, due to the dissolution of supersaturated carbon atoms, the lattice distortion is increased and the dislocation density is increased, which significantly reduces the plastic deformation ability. This is the reason for the high hardness of martensite . Obviously, the higher the carbon content, the greater the degree of distortion, and the higher the hardness. After quenching, steels with different carbon content have a large range between the hardness value and the martensite content and carbon content. Good correspondence, the hardness of tempered steel after tempering depends on the tempering temperature and holding time. The higher the tempering temperature, the longer the holding time and the lower the hardness. Therefore, the hardness test can be used to study the phase transformation of steel and as a means to detect the heat treatment effect of steel.
