ASTM A1038 Portable Hardness Testing by UCI Method
ASTM A1038 test method covers the determination of comparative hardness values of metallic elements by applying the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Method (UCI Method). The UCI hardness tests may be used on large or small components at various locations.
Scope:
ASTM A1038 test method determines comparative hardness values by applying the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Method (UCI Method) on metallic samples. The UCI hardness test can be used to take hardness measurements on positions difficult to access, such as tooth flanks or roots of gears. The ASTM A1038 hardness test is a superficial determination that is done only for measuring the hardness condition of the surface contacted.
Test Procedure:
To perform ASTM A1038 hardness test, the probe is connected to the indicating unit and the instrument is turned on. The probe is held firmly with its axis in a perpendicular position relative to the test piece surface. Steady pressure is exerted against the test piece during the loading phase. Vertical probe position is to be maintained as long as the load is effective. Then, the instruments indicate the end of the measurement by an acoustic signal and display the value of hardness.
Specimen size:
The specimen used for ASTM A1038 hardness test, generally consists of a probe containing a rod with a defined indenter.
Data:
In ASTM A1038 testing, hardness is reported in SI units and is considered as standard.
The error E in the performance of UCI hardness testing relative to a standardized reference value is calculated as :
E = | 100 × ( x’ – xref. / xref. ) |
Where,
x’ = the average of the measurements made on a standard reference block.
xref = the certified reference hardness reported for the standard reference block.
Conclusion:
ASTM A1038 test method covers the determination of comparative hardness values of metallic elements by applying the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Method (UCI Method).
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
