The software and peripheral devices have realized\nsystematization of hardness measurement that is suited for\nmeasurement purposes from multi-point measurement of specimens\nand continuous measurement of volume samples to the separation\nof specimens and data processing. The Rockwell hardness testers\nincorporating many features are the latest machines designed for\nvarious applications, such as precision measuring instruments for\nresearch, testing in receiving inspection, and integrated-system\nmachines for quality control.\nRockwell hardness testing machines are widely used in the\nﬁelds of quality control and metallic material research and\ndevelopment. As they are used in an increasing number of\nﬁelds and the use is becoming ever more specialized, high\nprecision, improved operability, automation, and high efﬁciency\nare required. To meet these diversiﬁed needs, we developed a\nnew series of digital Rockwell hardness testing machines with\nﬂexibility based on our long-term expertise and track record as\nwell as our unique technologies. In hardware, digitization of\ndisplacement measurement is provided with a linear scale to improve\nmeasurement precision, and steady measurement conditions\nA simple operation system is adopted to improve operability, and\nthe driving mechanism is dramatically automated at the same time.\nRockwell hardness testing machines support diverse needs\nAutomatic selection device\nAutomatic rotation table\nAutomatic Jominy table\nX-Y automatic table\nDedicated hardness testing machines for a wider application range\nThe key to automation and labor saving is the software and peripheral devices around the hardware.\nAs the purposes of use are diverse, special patterns and functions are required. Since we pioneered\nthe automation of hardness testing machines, we have the longest track record and have accumulated\na broad range of expertise in this ﬁeld. We have a system to develop special software and peripheral\ndevices that can support practically any specimen shape and measurement conditions, in addition to the\nproducts introduced in this document. Please consult us for further details.\nData processing software for hardness testing machines\nAs most industrial materials, such as metals, vary in quality, the results of material tests in the property evaluation process and for\nquality control purposes require accurate statistical analysis. In the case of hardness testing, the results of hardness measurements\nare processed for statistical calculations, creation of graphs, control charts, and reports for analysis and evaluation for material\ndevelopment and quality control. Such operations and storage of results are performed on PCs. Data processing software connects to a\nhardness testing machine via a connection cable and transfers the measurement results directly to Excel worksheets on a PC.\nThis software has the following features:\n> It can capture measurement results from the hardness testing machine and display them in Excel worksheets.\n> On the worksheets, the measurement results can be easily converted into table format.\n> If it is connected to a hardness testing machine that outputs the hardness measurement results and measurement position information\ntogether, the hardness distribution on the specimen surface can be displayed graphically. This is very useful in examining the thermal\neffects of welding, process hardening of the specimen surface, and evaluation of the degree of residual stress.\n> A standard ﬁle suitable for evaluating the carburization hardened layer, a test often used on steel, is supplied.\nThis product consists of the system disk that contains the software as described in the standard conﬁguration, protector, cables connecting\nthe hardness testing machine and PC, and operation manual.

The symbol HBS is\nused when the indenter is a steel ball, or HBW when it is a cemented carbide ball. k is\na constant (1/g = 1/9.80665 = 0.102).\nHBW = k\nπ D (D - D2- d2\n= 0.1891 F 2\nforce F (N) and then removed.\nAn error of the Vickers hardness test is obtained by the following formula. d1\nindicates the error of the microscope, d2 indicates the error in indentation detecting,\n“a” indicates the length of the edge line between two opposite faces at the tip of the\nindenter. θ is in degrees.\n– 2 3.5\n(3) Knoop hardness\nKnoop hardness is the test force F divided by the projected area A (mm2) of the\nimpression calculated based on the longer diagonal length d (mm) of the indentation\nmade when the pyramid-shaped diamond indenter with apical angles of 130˚ and\n172˚30‘ and rhomboid cross section is pressed against the specimen by the test force\nF and then removed. Knoop hardness can be measured by replacing the Vickers\nindenter of the microhardness testing machine with the Knoop indenter.\nFor the same loading condition (F/D2), the Brinell hardness obtained is almost the\nsame when different test forces are used for measurement. In many countries,\nmeasurement with small test forces is widespread as an application of this fact.\nTesting with a test force of 2451N or less can be conducted by using the test force\nweight and indenter for the Rockwell or Vickers hardness testing machine. For steel,\nF/D2 is 30. For other softer materials, an appropriate value is selected from 15, 10, 5,\n2.5, 1.25, and 1. In the JIS and ISO standards, the test force is 9.807 to 29420N, and\nthe diameter of the spherical indenter is 1 to 10mm. An error of the Brinell hardness\ntest is obtained by the following formula. d1 indicates the error of the impression\nmeasuring device, d2 the error in impression detecting.\n0.102 = 0.102\nHK = k\n= 0.102 2 = 1.451 2\n(4) Rockwell hardness and Rockwell Superﬁcial hardness\nA diamond indenter with an angle of 120˚ and a tip radius of 0.2mm tip or spherical\nindenter (steel or cemented carbide) is used. The preliminary test force is applied ﬁrst,\nthe test force is applied, and then the preliminary test force is applied again. Rockwell\nhardness and Rockwell Superﬁcial hardness can be obtained from the hardness\ncalculation formula based on the difference in depths of impression h (µm) measured\nat the ﬁrst and second application of the initial test force.\nThe hardness is called Rockwell hardness when the preliminary test force is 98.07N,\nor Rockwell Superﬁcial hardness when it is 29.42N. Unique symbols are assigned to\ncombinations of types of the indenter, test forces, and hardness calculation formula,\nwhich comprise a scale.

More speciﬁcally, there are many applications of microhardness below\n9.807N. Vickers hardness is the test force F divided by the contact area S (mm2) of\nthe indenter and sample calculated based on the diagonal length d (the average\nof 2 directions in mm) of the impression made when the pyramid-shaped diamond\nindenter (θ = 136 between opposite faces) is pressed into the sample by the test\n4.903 X 10-3\nMinimum thickness of\nSphere of 1.5875mm\nSphere of 3.175mm in\nSphere of 6.35mm in\nSphere of 12.7mm in\n9.807 X 10-3\n98.07 X 10-3\n19.61 X 10-3\n29.42 X 10-3\n49.03 X 10-3\nCarbide, sheet steel\nSteel (100HRB or more to 70HRC or less)\nMinimum thickness of specimen\nt: Thickness of specimen: 0.15mm\nHardness of specimen: 185HV1\nd: Length of diagonal line: 9.807 (1kgf)\nh: Depth of indentation: 0.1mm\nRockwell Superﬁcial hardness\nh: Depth of indentation mm\nHV = 0.1891 2\nt: Thickness of specimen mm\nd: Length of diagonal line mm\nDiagonal length of\nBearing metal, annealed copper\nHard aluminum alloy, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze\nBearing metal, grind stone\nTypes of Rockwell\nThin surface hardened layer of steel such as\ncarburized and nitrided\nSheet of mild steel, brass, bronze, etc.\nPlastic, zinc, bearing alloy\nThis chart is provided for reference and allows approximate conversion between the hardness values obtained from testing the same metallic specimen\naccording to various types of hardness test.\nDue to the wide difference in measurement methods between each type of test, the type speciﬁed in a product speciﬁcation should always be used for quality\nassurance purposes, rather than another type of test with a conversion back to the type actually speciﬁed.\n*This conversion list is edited according to the SAEJ417 standard. *Hardness of Shore is based on JIS B7731.\n109.400604 (2) ENE, Printed in Japan\nMicro surface material property evaluation system\nAVK-C0, HV-100 Series\nBrinell hardness testing machine ABK-1\n(Rebound type portable hardness tester)\nHardmatic HH-300 Series (Hardness tester\nfor sponge, rubber, and plastic)\nAnything that has mass and takes up space. 1) Single type of matter\nCIVL 3121 Structural Analysis I Homework Format
