Key Principles of HV and HB Hardness Testing

  1. Tvrdosť (HV)
    • Measures a material’s resistance to plastic deformation using a diamond pyramid indenter under a specific load.
    • Suitable for thin materials, surface coatings, and small components due to its small indentation.
  2. Brinell tvrdosť (HB)
    • Uses a tungsten carbide or hardened steel ball indenter to create a larger indentation, ideal for coarse-grained materials like cast iron and non-ferrous alloys.
    • HBW (tungsten carbide ball) has replaced HBS (steel ball) in most standards post-2003.

Practical Applications and Considerations

  • Výber materiálu:
    • Use HV for thin sheets or case-hardened layers; HB for bulk materials like forgings.
    • Príklad: A component with HV 200 (HB 190) is ideal for moderate-stress automotive parts.
  • Conversion Accuracy:
    • HBW values are typically 5–10% higher than HBS for the same material due to differences in indenter material.
    • Avoid direct conversions for materials with heterogeneous structures (napr., liatina).
  • Standards Compliance:
    • Od 50150 and ISO 18265 are widely accepted for industrial hardness conversions.

Why Trust This Guide?

Further Reading

  • Limitations of Hardness Testing:
    • Surface finish, material anisotropy, and test load variability can affect results.
  • Advanced Methods:
    • Use microhardness tests (napr., HV 0.1) for precision measurements on coatings or heat-affected zones.

By integrating theoretical principles and empirical data, this guide ensures reliable HV-to-HB conversions for engineering excellence.
