Brinell Hardness Indentation Test Method for SSAW Steel Pipe
The hardness of SSAW steel pipe is the ability of metal materials to resist the indentation of the surface of hard objects. According to the test methods and scope application, hardness can be divided into Brinell hardness, Rockwell hardness, Vickers hardness, Shore hardness, micro hardness and high temperature hardness. There are three commonly used in steel pipes: Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers hardness. Below we will detailed introduce you Brinell hardness. Brinell hardness (HB) Use a steel ball or cemented carbide ball with a certain diameter and press it into the surface of the sample with the specified test force (F). After the specified holding time, remove the test force and measure the indentation diameter (L ) The Brinell hardness value is the quotient obtained by dividing the test force by the indentation spherical surface area. Expressed in HBS (steel ball), the unit is N/mm2 (MPa, and the calculation formula is in the formula: F--test force pressed into the surface of th
