20、tional Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has be
21、en established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical stan
22、dardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accorda
23、nce with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details o

26、L: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of metals, Subcommittee SC 3, Hardness testing.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4545-1:2005), which has been technically revised.The main changes compared
27、to the previous edition are as follows: all references have been removed of indentation diagonals 0,020 mm; the resolution requirements have been defined for the measuring system; the lower test force limit of the Knoop hardness test has been expanded to 0,009 807 N; the requirements for the periodi
28、c (weekly or daily) verifications of the testing machine have been defined as normative, the maximum permissible bias value has been revised, and the requirements for the maximum permissible error in measuring a reference indentation have been revised; the recommendations for inspection and monitori
29、ng of the indenter have been added (moved from ISO 4545-2); the requirements have been revised for the approach velocity of the indenter prior to contact with the sample surface; the timing requirements for the test force application and the duration at maximum test force are revised to indicate tar
30、get time values; Figure 3 has been added illustrating the requirements for the minimum distance between indentations; the distances have been stated with respect to the indentation centres rather than the indentation limits, but the requirements have not changed; the requirements have been added to

33、s test method for metallic materials for test forces from 0,009 807 N to 19,613 N.The Knoop hardness test is specified in this document for lengths of indentation diagonals 0,020 mm. Using this method to determine Knoop hardness from smaller indentations is outside the scope of this document as resu
34、lts would suffer from large uncertainties due to the limitations of optical measurement and imperfections in tip geometry. ISO 14577-1 allows the determination of hardness from smaller indentations.A periodic verification method is specified for routine checking of the testing machine in service by
35、the user.Special considerations for Knoop testing of metallic coatings can be found in ISO 4516.2 Normative referencesThe following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.
