18、f carburized orcarbonitrided sintered ferrous materials by micro-hardness measurement.The methods are adapted to materials having porosity and only apply to quenched materials.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute
19、 provisions ofthis International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of thesepublications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged toinvestigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of
20、the normative documents indicated below. Forundated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IECmaintain registers of currently valid International Standards.ISO 2639, Steel Determination and verification of the effective depth of carburized an
21、d hardened cases.ISO 4498:1), Sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals Determination of apparent hardness and micro-hardness.3 Term and definitionFor the purposes of this International Standard, the following term and definition applies.3.1case-hardening depthCHDdistance, measured normal to th
22、e surface of a case-hardened workpiece at a point at which the hardnesscorresponds to a specified limit1) To be published. (Cancels and replaces ISO 4498-1:1990 and ISO 4498-2:1981)3 EN ISO 4507:2007 (E) 4PrincipleMeasuring of the micro-hardness by the Vickers testing method in accordance with ISO 4
23、498:, Procedure 2. It ismeasured on a section taken normal to the surface.Drafting a curve representing hardness as a function of distance from the surface of the test piece. This allows agraphical determination of the case depth (method A).Reading the case-hardening depth from this curve at the poi
24、nt corresponding to a specified hardness, usually550 HV 0,1.By agreement between the parties concerned, another value may be specified. In this case, the specified value isdistinguished from the standard value by the symbol HG (given value).In this International Standard the symbol HG is used to mea
25、n the specified hardness corresponding to the casedepth, considering that 550 HV 0,1 is a particular value for it (it is the standard one).The basic method A may be simplified for rapid spot checking (method B). In method B, the hardness is measuredat two points situated at either side of the approx
26、imate case depth. The accurate case-hardening depth is thenobtained by interpolation.5 Apparatus5.1 Vickers or Knoop micro-hardness testing machine, capable of applying a predetermined load of0,980 7 N (HV 0,1) to an accuracy of Gb1 1%.5.2 Measuring instrument, capable of measuring the diagonals of
27、the indentation to an accuracy of 0,5 G6dm.6 Procedure6.1 GeneralMicro-hardness measurements shall be made on a section of the sintered piece cut at right angles to the surface inan area chosen by agreement between supplier and user.The test shall be made with a Vickers or Knoop diamond indentor.The
28、 test load shall be 0,980 7 N (HV 0,1).6.2 Preparation of sampleThe surface on which the measurement is to be made shall be polished to a smoothness sufficient to permit correctmeasurements of the micro-hardness indentation. All precautions shall be taken to avoid damage to the edges ofthe specimen,
29、 overheating and changes of the surface due to smearing of the pores.NOTE Preparation of the sample may be facilitated by impregnation with a thermosetting plastic.4 EN ISO 4507:2007 (E) 6.3 Method A Determination of case-hardening depth6.3.1 Position of micro-hardness impressionsSeeFigure1.For each
30、 depth d1, d2, d3, etc., make at least three indentations.Discard the lowest individual hardness value if it is obviously too low (e.g. owing to porosity) or if by including thislow value the hardness range of the other points is more than doubled. In all cases of a discarded value, make areplacemen
31、t indentation.Make indentations at depths d1, d2, d3, etc. (measured in millimetres from the surface) as follows:0,05; 0,1; 0,2; 0,3; 0,4; 0,5; 0,75; 1; 1,5; 2; 3 where d1=0,05etc.The distance between two adjacent indentations, S, shall be not less than 2,5 times the diagonal of the impression.Inden
32、tations shall be within a zone, perpendicular to the surface, of width W equal to 1,5 mm.Figure 1 Position of micro-hardness impressions6.3.2 EvaluationCalculate the arithmetic mean of the hardness values obtained at each depth and plot these mean values on agraph of hardness versus distance from th
33、e surface (see Figure 2). Draw the best fit through the plotted points.Then draw the horizontal line at the ordinate HG corresponding to the specified value of hardness.The case-hardening depth CHD is then given by the abscissa of the intercept of this line and the curve of variationof hardness.The
34、accuracy of the determination depends upon the number of indentations at each depth.Extra indentations in the region of the approximate case depth will improve accuracy if the result is imprecise dueto a small angle of intersection beween the curve and the horizontal line.5 EN ISO 4507:2007 (E) Figu
35、re 2 Determination of case-hardening depth using method A6.4 Method A modified Determination of case-hardening depth6.4.1 Position of micro-hardness impressionsWhen the microstructure and porosity conditions are such that it is impractical to take hardness readings at pre-selected depths, then it is
36、 permissible to simply plot individual hardness readings versus depth below surface.6.4.2 EvaluationDraw the best fit through the plotted points.Draw a horizontal line at the ordinate, HG, corresponding to the specified value of hardness.The case-hardening depth CHD is then given by the abscissa of
37、the intercept of this line and the curve of variationof hardness.6.5 Method B Inspection test for case-hardening depth6.5.1 GeneralIt is assumed that the curve which represents the case depth as a function of hardness can be regarded as astraight line in the region of the case-hardening depth establ
38、ished by method A.6.5.2 Position of micro-hardness impressionsPrepare the section in the same manner as for method A, but measure the micro-hardness at only two depths, d1and d2, from the surface (see Figure 3).Choose the depths d1and d2so that d1is less than the estimated case-hardening depth and d
39、2is greater than theestimated case-hardening depth but less than the total case depth.6 EN ISO 4507:2007 (E) Choose d1and d2on the basis of past experience with similar materials or a previously plotted hardness curve,established on a similar material, as in method A. Make at least five micro-hardne
40、ss impressions at each of the twodepths.The distances between adjacent impressions, and also the elimination of low values, shall be subject to the samerules as in method A.If the hardnesses measured at depths d1and d2are both greater than or both less than that of the case-hardeningdepth, then meth
41、od A shall be used to determine the case-hardening depth.6.5.3 EvaluationCalculate the arithmetic mean of the hardness values obtained at each depth. Then use one or the other of the twofollowing methods.a) Graphical method (see Figure 3)Use a graph of hardness versus distance from the surface. Plot
42、 the two mean hardnesses H1and H2against thedepths d1and d2respectively. Join the two points by a straight line.The case-hardening depth CHD is given by the abscissa of the intercept of this line with a horizontal line drawn onthe ordinate HG (corresponding to specified case hardness).b) Calculation
