Advantages of Vickers Hardness Tester

 

Universal Applicability
One of the significant advantages of the Vickers test is its applicability to a wide range of materials, regardless of their hardness. It is suitable for both hard materials like ceramics and soft materials like plastics, making it a versatile choice for different applications.

 
 

Accurate Results
The Vickers test is known for its high accuracy and reliability. The diamond indenter’s small and symmetrical shape, along with its ability to produce well-defined indents, ensures precise measurements.

 
 

Broad Hardness Range
The Vickers test covers a broad range of hardness values, from very soft materials (HV 1) to very hard materials (HV 1200). This makes it an excellent choice for materials that exhibit a wide spectrum of hardness levels.

 
 

Consistency
The Vickers test doesn’t rely on a fixed relationship between the applied load and the indentation size, unlike some other hardness tests. This allows for more consistent results across various materials.

 
 

Microhardness Testing
The Vickers test can be used for microhardness testing, which involves applying low loads to create small indents. This is particularly useful when assessing thin films, coatings, or small-scale components.

FAQ

 

Q: What are the precautions that should be taken in a Vickers hardness test?

A: The test should be carried out on a surface which is smooth, even, free from oxide, foreign matter and lubricants. The thickness of the test piece or of the layer under test shall be at least 1.5 times the diagonal length of the indentation.

Q: How does a Vickers hardness tester work?

A: The Vickers method is based on an optical measurement system. The Microhardness test procedure, ASTM E-384, specifies a range of light loads using a diamond indenter to make an indentation which is measured and converted to a hardness value.

Q: How to decide load for Vickers hardness test?

A: The decision on load should be based upon the actual size of the indentation, independently of the number of grains affected (30 grains mentioned in the ASTM standard is a mere indication). The hardness test measures the resistance to penetration of the surface of a material by a hard object.

Q: How to read Vickers hardness test?

A: Vickers hardness numbers are reported as xxxHVyy, e.g. 440HV30, or xxxHVyy/zz if duration of force differs from 10 s to 15 s, e.g. 440HV30/20, where: 440 is the hardness number, HV names the hardness scale (Vickers), 30 indicates the load used in kgf.

Q: When to use Vickers hardness?

A: Since the test indentation is very small in a Vickers test, it is useful for a variety of applications: testing very thin materials like foils or measuring the surface of a part, small parts or small areas, measuring individual microstructures, or measuring the depth of case hardening by sectioning a part and making a ...

Q: How does the Vickers test compare to other hardness testing methods?

A: The Vickers test takes roughly 30 to 60 seconds per test, which is slower than some alternatives like the Rockwell method, but it is more accurate and versatile. It yields more consistent results across a range of hardness levels and can be applied to a greater variety of materials. It can be more expensive than some other techniques, though, because it needs a good surface finish and optical evaluation.
