COMPARISON OF VICKERS HARDNESS MEASUREMENT IN HIGH HARDNESS RANGE

摘要

The paper describes comparison of Vickers hardness measurement in the high hardness range. The measurements were performed on the block made of WC-Co hardmetal on the reference Vickers hardness machine. The software package for the indentation analysis was developed. In order to confirm reliability of the results the hardness measurements were performed on the primary Vickers microhardness machine. On the basis of comparison was concluded that measured Vickers hardness fit well.
