(Main)Metallic materials - Knoop hardness test - Part 1: Test method (ISO 4545-1:2023)
Metallic materials - Knoop hardness test - Part 1: Test method (ISO 4545-1:2023)
This document specifies the Knoop hardness test method for metallic materials for test forces from 0,009 807 N to 19,613 N.
This document specifies Knoop hardness tests for length of the long diagonal ≥0,020 mm. Using this method to determine the Knoop hardness from smaller indentations is outside the scope of this document as results would suffer from large uncertainties due to the limitations of optical measurement and imperfections in tip geometry.
The Knoop hardness test specified in this document is also applicable for metallic and other inorganic coatings including electrodeposited coatings, autocatalytic coatings, sprayed coatings and anodic coatings on aluminium. This document is applicable to measurements normal to the coated surface and to measurements on cross-sections, provided that the characteristics of the coating (smoothness, thickness, etc.) permit accurate readings of the diagonal of the indentation. This document is not applicable for coatings with thickness less than 0,007 mm when testing normal to the coating surface. This document is not applicable for coatings with thickness less than 0,020 mm when testing a cross-section of the coating. ISO 14577-1 can be used for the determination of hardness from smaller indentations.
A periodic verification method is specified for routine checking of the testing machine in service by the user.
Metallische Werkstoffe - Härteprüfung nach Knoop - Teil 1: Prüfverfahren (ISO 4545-1:2023)
Dieses Dokument legt das Verfahren für die Härteprüfung nach Knoop an metallischen Werkstoffen für Prüfkräfte von 0,009 807 N bis 19,613 N fest.
Dieses Dokument legt die Härteprüfung nach Knoop für die Länge der langen Diagonale ≥ 0,020 mm fest. Die Verwendung dieses Verfahrens zur Bestimmung der Knoop-Härte für kleinere Eindrücke gehört nicht zum Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments, weil die Resultate aufgrund von Grenzen der optischen Messung und Unvollkommenheiten der Geometrie der Spitze mit großer Unsicherheit behaftet wären.
Die in diesem Dokument festgelegte Härteprüfung nach Knoop ist auch für metallische und andere anorganische Schichten, einschließlich Schichten durch elektrolytische Metallabscheidung, Schichten durch autokatalytische Metallabscheidung, gespritzter Schichten und anodischer Schichten auf Aluminium, anwendbar. Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf Messungen senkrecht zur beschichteten Oberfläche und auf Messungen an Querschnitten, sofern die Eigenschaften der Schicht (Glätte, Dicke usw.) genaue Ablesewerte der Diagonale des Eindrucks ermöglichen. Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für Schichten mit einer Dicke von weniger als 0,007 mm, wenn die Prüfung senkrecht zur Oberfläche der Schicht erfolgt. Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für Schichten mit einer Dicke von weniger als 0,020 mm, wenn ein Schichtquerschnitt geprüft wird. ISO 14577 1 kann zur Härte-Bestimmung von kleineren Eindrücken angewendet werden.
Zur laufenden Kontrolle der im Betrieb befindlichen Prüfmaschine durch den Anwender ist ein Verfahren zur regelmäßigen Überprüfung festgelegt.
Matériaux métalliques - Essai de dureté Knoop - Partie 1: Méthode d'essai (ISO 4545-1:2023)
Le présent document spécifie la méthode d’essai de dureté Knoop pour les matériaux métalliques, pour des forces d’essai comprises de 0,009 807 N à 19,613 N.
Le présent document spécifie l’essai de dureté Knoop pour la longueur de la grande diagonale ≥ 0,020 mm. L’utilisation de cette méthode pour déterminer la dureté Knoop d’empreintes plus petites ne fait pas partie du domaine d’application du présent document, car les résultats ainsi obtenus présenteraient des incertitudes élevées en raison des limitations du mesurage optique et des imperfections concernant la géométrie de la pointe.
L'essai de dureté Knoop spécifié dans le présent document est également applicable aux revêtements métalliques et autres revêtements inorganiques, y compris les revêtements électrodéposés, les revêtements autocatalytiques, les revêtements pulvérisés et les revêtements anodiques sur l'aluminium. Le présent document s'applique aux mesurages effectués perpendiculairement à la surface revêtue et aux mesurages effectués sur des sections transversales, à condition que les caractéristiques du revêtement (planéité, épaisseur, etc.) permettent une lecture précise de la diagonale de l'empreinte. Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux revêtements d'une épaisseur inférieure à 0,007 mm lorsque l'essai est effectué perpendiculairement à la surface du revêtement. Le présent document n'est pas applicable aux revêtements d'une épaisseur inférieure à 0,020 mm dans le cas de l'essai d'une section transversale du revêtement. La norme ISO 14577-1 peut être utilisée pour la détermination de la dureté à partir d'empreintes plus petites.
Une méthode de vérification périodique est spécifiée pour la vérification de routine de la machine d'essai en service par l'utilisateur.
Kovinski materiali - Preskus trdote po Knoopu - 1. del: Preskusna metoda (ISO 4545-1:2023)
Standard ISO 4545-1:2017 določa metodo za preskus trdote po Knoopu za kovinske materiale s preskusnimi silami od 0,009 807 N do 19,613 N.
Preskus trdote po Knoopu je v tem dokumentu določen za dolžine diagonal zarez ≥ 0,020 mm. Uporaba te metode za določanje trdote po Knoopu na podlagi manjših zarez ne sodi v področje uporabe tega dokumenta, saj bi bili rezultati nezanesljivi zaradi negotovosti, povezane z omejitvami optičnega merjenja in nepravilnostmi geometrije konice. Določevanje trdote na podlagi manjših zarez omogoča standard ISO 14577-1.
Določena je tudi metoda za redno preverjanje pri rutinskem pregledovanju naprave za preskušanje, ki jo uporablja uporabnik.
Posebne zahteve za preskušanje kovinskih prevlek so navedene v standardu ISO 4516.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
