Q

3 Main differences of Vickers and Brinell

A

Penetrator has a different shape; The load (force) is less; and the methods use different units.

Q

Advantage of Vickers microhardness testing?

A

Used on harder materials because the pointed penetrator can probe into a hard surface more easily than a ball penetrator can; Can be used on smaller area; requires a smalller load.

Q

Uses a smaller load than Vickers; Load of merely 25 grams can be used for extremely small areas. Does not have a square base.

25
Advantages of Knoop Microhardness testing
Does essentially no damage to the specimen; can be used on very thin materials and on small surface areas.
26
Most widely used of all metal hardness testing method. Eliminates the effects of small surface imperfections by applying a preliminary load (minor load) to the sample before the hardness test is taken
Rockwell Hardness Testing Method
27
What does atom mean?
Indivisible
28
5 Properties of metal
Ability to conduct electricity; ability to conduct heat; Hardness; high density; not transparent.
29
What type of particle is formed when two or more atoms are chemically bonded
a molecule
30
Two differences of compound and mixture
Compound is chemically joined and mixture is not and characteristics of mixture the same as the items that make it up.
31
In which hardness testing method is the hardest based on the diameter of the indenture?
Brinell hardness testing
32
Which hardness testing method does the impression look like a diamond, with one axis seven times as long as the other
Knoop microhardness testing method
33
In which hardness testing method is the hardest for you depending on the height of the bounce
Shore scleroscope hardness testing method
34
In which to hardness testing method is the hardest depending on the depth of the penetration rather than the width of the penetration
Rockwell hardness testing method and Rockwell superficial hardness testing method
35
In which hardness testing method is a diamond tipped magneticoStrictive Rod used
Sonodur
36
In which hardness testing methods is a minor load applied first to get through the outer surface of the metal before making the hardness test
Rockwell hardness testing method and Rockwell superficial hardness testing method
37
In most hardness testing methods the surface should be horizontal and as flat and smooth as possible. In which hardness testing method is this most critical?
Shore scleroscope hardness testing method
38
In which type of hardness testing method is the hardest dependent on the width of a square, diamond shape impression?
Vickers hardness testing method
39
In which hardness testing method is a very small impression made by diamond penetrator using a load so small it is measured in grams instead of kilograms?
Knoop Microhardness testing method
40
Which hardness testing method employees either a C, A, E, G or K scale?
Rockwell hardness testing method
41
List the hardness testing method that measures hardness in units of BHN?
Sonodur and Brinell
