Hardness method

Spraying conditions make hardness values so variable that unless they are accurately known no comparisons are possible. Brinell hardness figures for sprayed molybdenum vary from 350 when produced with a reducing flame to 725 with an oxidising flame, and while a thick sprayed deposit of 0-8% carbon steel can give a figure of 330, the hardness of a particle obtained by micro hardness methods will be about 550.

It is unfortunate that test methods for soft plastics and for rubbers, although very similar, are not identical, for example differences in tensile stress strain, tear and hardness methods. If they were aligned, much of debate about which method to use would be eliminated. For some properties, there is a distinct difference in approach. For example, glass transition temperature is frequently determined for plastics whilst various low temperature tests have been specifically developed for rubbers. 

One thing the guide fails to do is to unite all the standard ISO methods described below into a logical series. Hence, the dead load method is called Method of determination of hardness whilst the durometer methods are under a separate number and headed Determination of indentation hardness. Methods for hardness of rollers come under a third number.

The hardness methods traditionally used in the abrasive industry are Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Mackensen-Zeiss (Table 5.8). Their useful range follows from the grain size used in the product and the bond force of the structure (binder volume) (Fig. 9.2).

The total number of hardness methods that are used is considerable, and a frequently asked question is how the different scales are related. Because of the arbitrary nature of the methods, any relation is at be.st approximate, but a number of conversions have been established. Computer software has been produced that includes all those that have been published [6]. 

In addition to spectroscopic techniques, DC has been studied indirectly using micro-hardness methods, either Vicker s or Knoop hardness. There is a good relationship between the DC and micro-hardness [37,40], though the relationship is complicated because micro-hardness is affected not only by DC but also be extent of crosslinking [41], It can also be affected by accidentally placing the micro-hardness in-denter directly on a filler particle. A further disadvantage of the use of micro-hardness is that measurements cannot provide quantitative information on the fraction of double bonds that have undergone polymerization. 

The samples for the tensile tests were prepared according to the specifications of the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), No.l4B. The load-elongation curve was obtained for a crosshead speed of 1.0 nun/min. The hardness of the specimens was measured using the Vickers hardness method at 1 kgf for 15 s.

A different way of looking at these problems was exemplified by Coulson s intervention at the Nikko Symposium, in which he contrasted the "easy" with the "hard" methods in doing quantum chemistry, and which followed smoothly his many considerations steadfastly voiced since the time he became the Rouse Ball Professor of Applied Mathematics at Oxford in 1951 (figure 4.3), and which culminated in the after-dinner address at the 1959 Boulder Conference. More than anyone else he was a stubborn and committed advocate of methodological pluralism, of the possibilities for exploring different approaches in different problems, always eager to compare and...

Hardness can be considered in several ways. A Rockwell number is directly related to the resistance of a rigid material to penetration by a steel ball. Soft plastics and rubbers are tested for resistance to penetration by the shore hardness method. Here is a general comparison between the most common scales of hardness ...
