Vickers hardness Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vickers Hardness = 1.854*Indentation Load/(Diagonal length^2)
HV = 1.854*P/(d^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Vickers Hardness - (Measured in Pascal) - Vickers Hardness test consists of applying a force (also called a “load”) on the test material using a diamond indenter, to obtain an indentation.
Indentation Load - (Measured in Newton) - Indentation load in microhardness test. Loads will be in the range of 1-1000 grams.
Diagonal length - (Measured in Meter) - Diagonal length in microhardness test. The diagonal length is in millimetre.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Indentation Load: 0.1 Kilogram-Force --> 0.980664999999931 Newton (Check conversion here)
Diagonal length: 1.7 Millimeter --> 0.0017 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

HV = 1.854*P/(d^2) --> 1.854*0.980664999999931/(0.0017^2)

Evaluating ... ...

HV = 629118.653979195

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

629118.653979195 Pascal -->0.0641522491349481 Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0641522491349481 ≈ 0.064152 Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter <-- Vickers Hardness

Vickers hardness test

Vickers hardness test is implemented by pressing the diamond indenter into the surface under testing. The indenter is pyramid-shaped, with a square base and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces. Typically, loads vary from 1 to 100 kgf. The full load is normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds.

How to Calculate Vickers hardness?

Vickers hardness calculator uses Vickers Hardness = 1.854*Indentation Load/(Diagonal length^2) to calculate the Vickers Hardness, Vickers hardness test consists of applying a force (also called a “load”) on the test material using a diamond indenter, to obtain an indentation. Vickers Hardness is denoted by HV symbol.
