ASTM C1327 Vickers indentation hardness of ceramics
The ASTM C1327 test is a microhardness test that uses a pointed, pyramidal diamond shaped, square-based indent, pressed into the surface of the test ceramic specimen with a known load, thus producing a relatively small permanent indentation which can be further measured using a light microscope.
Scope:
ASTM C1327 test method explains the measurement of Vickers indentation hardness of advanced ceramics. This test is easier when compared with other hardness tests as it is independent of the size of the indenter. This test is specifically used for small parts, thin sheets or case depth work, where a small square-shaped indentation is made for testing purposes. The average diagonal size of the square-shaped indentation and the applied force are used for calculating the Vickers hardness. Keeping the applied load the same, the Vickers test procedure in ASTM C1327 produces 1.5 times deeper indentation than the Knoop indentation method.
Test Procedure:
In the test ASTM C1327, the ratio ofthe force applied to the contact surface area determines the hardness of the test ceramic specimen. By varying the range of the predetermined applied loads, full characterization curve of Vickers hardness can be obtained in terms of Vickers hardness number (HV). The HV number in ASTM C1327 is determined by the ratio F/A, where F is the force or the load applied in kilograms-force and A is the polished surface of the specimen on which indentation is being done in square millimeters. These units are further converted into SI systems of units.
Sample size:
The test specimen in ASTM C1327 must be highly polished which enables measuring the size of the impressions by the square-based, pyramidal diamond shaped indent.
Data:
The units of hardness given by the test in ASTM C1327 follows a Vickers Pyramid Number (HV) or Diamond Pyramid Hardness (DPH). These numbers can be converted into the units of Pascals, however, they are not to be confused with pressure i.e. measuring area normal to the force, but instead these are determined by the load over the surface area of the indentation. The values in SI units are to be considered as standard.
Conclusion:
The ASTM C1327 test is a microhardness test that uses a pointed, pyramidal diamond shaped, square-based indent, pressed into the surface of the test ceramic specimen with a known load, thus producing a relatively small permanent indentation which can be further measured using a light microscope.
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.
