EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 6507-1 testing. The ISO 6507-1 standard, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), offers a test method for understanding the hardness levels of metal materials.
Vickers hardness test is generally preferred because it is very easy to apply. The calculations made in this test method are independent of the resulting size of the indentation and the test can be used for all materials, regardless of hardness.
The basic principle of the ISO 6507-1 standard, as with other hardness measurements, is to observe the ability of a material to resist plastic deformation against impact from a standard source. This test is applicable for all metal materials. The reason it is so widely used is that it has one of the largest scales among other hardness tests.
The hardness unit obtained in the ISO 6507-1 standard is known as the Vickers Pyramid Number or Diamond Pyramid Hardness. The hardness value is determined by the load on the surface area of the recess, not the normal area of the force. Therefore, it should not be perceived as a pressure value.
The Vickers hardness test was developed in 1921 as an alternative to the Brinell method to measure the hardness of metal materials.
When performing hardness tests, the minimum distance between the indentations and the distance from the indentation to the edge of the sample must be taken into account to prevent interference between regions and the effects of the edge.
