6、f Procedures for Determining RockwellHardness UncertaintyAppendix X21.4 UnitsAt the time the Rockwell hardness test wasdeveloped, the force levels were specified in units ofkilograms-force (kgf) and the indenter ball diameters werespecified in units of inches (in.). This standard specifies theunits

7、of force and length in the International System of Units(SI); that is, force in Newtons (N) and length in millimeters(mm). However, because of the historical precedent andcontinued common usage, force values in kgf units and balldiameters in inch units are provided for information and muchof the dis

8、cussion in this standard refers to these units.1.5 The test principles, testing procedures, and verificationprocedures are essentially identical for both the Rockwell andRockwell superficial hardness tests. The significant differencesbetween the two tests are that the test forces are smaller for the

9、Rockwell superficial test than for the Rockwell test. The sametype and size indenters may be used for either test, dependingon the scale being employed. Accordingly, throughout thisstandard, the term Rockwell will imply both Rockwell andRockwell superficial unless stated otherwise.1.6 This standard

10、does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

33、dness tests are considered satisfactory foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, and have beenused extensively in industry for this purpose.4.3 Rockwell hardness testing at a specific location on a partmay not represent the physical characteristics of the whole partor end product.4.4 Adherence

34、 to this standard test method provides trace-ability to national Rockwell hardness standards except as statedotherwise.5. Principles of Test and Apparatus5.1 Rockwell Hardness Test PrincipleThe general prin-ciple of the Rockwell indentation hardness test is illustrated inFig. 1. The test is divided

35、into three steps of force applicationand removal.Step 1The indenter is brought into contact with the testspecimen, and the preliminary test force F0is applied. Afterholding the preliminary test force for a specified dwell time,the baseline depth of indentation is measured.Step 2The force on the inde

36、nter is increased at acontrolled rate by the additional test force F1to achieve thetotal test force F. The total test force is held for a specifieddwell time.Step 3The additional test force is removed, returning tothe preliminary test force. After holding the preliminary testforce for a specified dw

37、ell time, the final depth of indentationis measured. The Rockwell hardness value is derived from thedifference h in the final and baseline indentation depths whileunder the preliminary test force. The preliminary test force isremoved and the indenter is removed from the test specimen.5.1.1 There are

38、 two general classifications of the Rockwelltest: the Rockwell hardness test and the Rockwell superficialhardness test. The significant difference between the two testclassifications is in the test forces that are used. For theRockwell hardness test, the preliminary test force is 10 kgf (98N) and th

39、e total test forces are 60 kgf (589 N), 100 kgf (981 N),and 150 kgf (1471 N). For the Rockwell superficial hardnesstest, the preliminary test force is 3 kgf (29 N) and the total testforces are 15 kgf (147 N), 30 kgf (294 N), and 45 kgf (441 N).5.1.2 Indenters for the Rockwell hardness test include a

40、diamond spheroconical indenter and tungsten carbide ballindenters of specified diameters.5.1.2.1 Steel indenter balls may be used only for testing thinsheet tin mill products specified in Specifications A623 andA623M using the HR15T and HR30T scales with a diamondspot anvil. Testing of this product

41、may give significantlydiffering results using a tungsten carbide ball as compared tohistorical test data using a steel ball.NOTE 1Previous editions of this standard have stated that the steelball was the standard type of Rockwell indenter ball. The tungsten carbideball is considered the standard typ

42、e of Rockwell indenter ball. The use oftungsten carbide balls provide an improvement to the Rockwell hardnesstest because of the tendency of steel balls to flatten with use, which resultsin an erroneously elevated hardness value. The user is cautioned thatRockwell hardness tests comparing the use of

43、 steel and tungsten carbideballs have been shown to give different results. For example, depending onthe material tested and its hardness level, Rockwell B scale tests using atungsten carbide ball indenter have given results approximately oneRockwell point lower than when a steel ball indenter is us

44、ed.5.1.3 The Rockwell hardness scales are defined by thecombinations of indenter and test forces that may be used. Thestandard Rockwell hardness scales and typical applications ofthe scales are given in Tables 1 and 2. Rockwell hardnessvalues shall be determined and reported in accordance with oneof

45、 these standard scales.5.2 Calculation of the Rockwell Hardness NumberDuringa Rockwell test, the force on the indenter is increased from apreliminary test force to a total test force, and then returned tothe preliminary test force. The difference in the two indentationdepth measurements, while under

46、 the preliminary test force, ismeasured as h (see Fig. 1).5.2.1 The unit measurement for h is mm. From the value ofh, the Rockwell hardness number is derived. The Rockwellhardness number is calculated as:5.2.1.1 For scales using a diamond spheroconical indenter(see Tables 1 and 2):Rockwell Hardness

47、5 100 2h0.002(4)Rockwell Superficial Hardness 5 100 2h0.001(5)where h is in mm.5.2.1.2 For scales using a ball indenter (see Tables 1 and 2):Rockwell Hardness 5 130 2h0.002(6)Rockwell Superficial Hardness 5 100 2h0.001(7)where h is in mm.5.2.2 The Rockwell hardness number is an arbitrarynumber, whic

48、h, by method of calculation, results in a highernumber for harder material.5.2.3 Rockwell hardness values shall not be designated by anumber alone because it is necessary to indicate which indenterand forces have been employed in making the test (see Tables1 and 2). Rockwell hardness numbers shall b

49、e quoted with ascale symbol representing the indenter and forces used. Thehardness number is followed by the symbol HR and the scaleFIG. 1 Rockwell Hardness Test Method (Schematic Diagram)E18143designation. When a ball indenter is used, the scale designationis followed by the letter “W” to indicate the use of a tungstencarbide ball or the letter “S” to indicate the use of a steel ball(see 5.1.2.1).5.2.3.1 Examples:64 HRC = Rockwell hardness number of 64 on Rockwell C scale81 HR30N = Rockwell superficial hardness number of 81 on the Rockwell30N scale72
