洛氏硬度计的特点
洛氏硬度试验操作简单,测量迅速,可在指示表上直接读取硬度值,工作效率高,成为最常用的硬度试验方法之一。由于试验力较小,压痕也小,特别是表面洛氏硬度试验的压痕更小,对大多数工件的使用无影响,可直接测试成品工件,初试验力的采用,使得试样表面轻微的不平度对硬度值的影响较小,因此,此仪器非常适于在工厂使用,适于对成批加工的成品或半成品工件进行逐件检测,该试验方法对测量操作的要求不高,非专业人员容易掌握。
洛氏硬度计的应用
洛氏硬度试验采用了︰3种压头,6种试验力,根据金属材料材质、硬度范围及尺寸的不同,共有15个标尺可供选择,可以测试从很软到很硬几乎全部常见的金属材料,应用范围十分广阔。洛氏硬度计在工业生产中得到了广泛应用,成为检验产品质量,确定合理加工工艺的主要手段。可测试各种黑色和有色金属,测试淬火钢、回火钢、钢、表面硬化钢、各种厚度的板材材料、粉末冶金材料、热喷涂层的硬度。

Two steps are pressed into the surface of the sample. After the main test force is removed, the indentation residual depth h is measured by separating the indentation head (diamond cone, steel ball or ball) under the initial test force under specified conditions. Indentation residual depth h represents the level of hardness. Figure 2-1 shows the principle of rockwell hardness test.

Rockwell hardness value is calculated as follows:
N - constant, N=100 for A, C, D, N, T scales, N=130 for other scales;
H - Residual indentation depth, mm:
S is a constant, for S=0.002mm, for S=0.001mm. Each Rockwell hardness unit corresponds to the indentation depth, rockwell hardness is 0.002mm, the surface rockwell hardness is -- 0.001mm. The shallower the indentation, the higher the hardness. Rockwell hardness test is divided into 2 kinds, one is ordinary Rockwell hardness test, one is surface Rockwell hardness test. Rockwell hardness test adopts three indenters of 120° diamond cone and 1.588mm D3.175mm steel ball, and three test forces of 6Okg, 100kg and 150kg are used. There are nine combinations corresponding to nine scales of Rockwell hardness. Namely, HRA, HRB, HRC, HRD, HRE, HRF, HRG, HRH, and HRK. The surface Rockwell hardness test adopts two intakes of 120 0 diamond cone and 1.588mm steel ball, and three test forces of 15kg, 30kg and 45kg are used. They have six combinations corresponding to the six scale of the surface Rockwell, namely HR15N, HR30N, HR45N, HR15T, HR30T and HR45T. Rockwell hardness test conditions are shown in Table 2-1. Rockwell hardness scale is selected as shown in Table 2-2.
The N scale is used for materials similar to rockwell scales C, A and D, but only for thin, small specimens and specimens with shallow hardening depth.
T scale is used for materials similar to Rockwell scale B, F and G, but only for thin and small samples and soft and shallow coating samples.
Rockwell hardness tester characteristics
Rockwell hardness test is one of the most commonly used hardness test methods because of its simple operation and rapid measurement. The hardness value can be read directly on the indicator table with high efficiency. Because the test force is small, the indentation is small, especially the indentation of the surface Rockwell hardness test is smaller, the use of most of the workpiece has no effect, can directly test the finished workpiece, the use of the initial test force, making the sample surface slight roughness of the hardness value of the impact is small, therefore, this instrument is very suitable for use in the factory, Suitable for batch processing of finished or semi-finished work piece by piece inspection, the test method is not high requirements for measurement operation, non-professionals easy to master.
Rockwell hardness tester application
Rockwell hardness test uses: 3 kinds of indenter, 6 kinds of test force, according to the metal material material, hardness range and size of different, a total of 15 scales to choose from, can test from very soft to very hard almost all common metal materials, the application range is very broad. Rockwell hardness tester has been widely used in industrial production, and has become the main means of testing product quality and determining reasonable processing technology. Can test all kinds of black and non-ferrous metals, test hardened steel, tempered steel, steel, surface hardening steel, various thickness of plate materials, powder metallurgy materials, thermal spraying layer hardness.
Surface Rockwell hardness tester is used to test the hardness of sheet metal, thin-wall pipe, surface hardened steel and small parts.
