1. Forewords

1.1 History The Leeb measuring method was first brought into measurement technology in 1978. It is defined as the quotient of an impact body’s rebound velocity over its impact velocity, multiplied by 1000. Harder materials produce a higher rebound velocity than softer materials. For a specific group of material (e.g. steel, aluminum. etc.), Leeb hardness value represents a direct relationship to its hardness properties. For ordinary metal, conversion curves of hardness HL versus other standard static hardness (HB, HV, HRC, etc.) are available, enabling you to convert HL into other hardness values. 1.2 Leeb Hardness Test (definition) An impact body with a spherical test tip made of tungsten carbide is propelled against the sample surface by a spring force and then rebounds back. At a distance of 1mm from the sample surface, the impact and rebound velocity of the impact body are measured by the following method: A permanent magnet embedded in the impact body, when passing through the coil in its coil holder, induces in the coil an electric voltage proportional to the velocities of the magnet. Leeb hardness is expressed by the following formula: HL=1000×(VB/VA) Where: HL is Leeb Hardness VB is the rebound velocity of the impact body VA is the impact velocity of the impact body The voltage characteristic of output signal, when the impact body passes through the induction coil is illustrated in the following figure:

Voltage characteristic of output signal A Leeb’s Hardness Tester measures the hardness of sample material in terms of Hardness Leeb (HL), which can be converted into other Hardness units (Rockwell B and C, Vicker, Briness and Shore D).

1.3 Notation Of Leeb’s Hardness When measuring the hardness of a sample material using the traditional static hardness testing method, a change of applied pressure will result in a change in the hardness reading. This will also happen during a Leeb’s Hardness test when you change the impact device. In measuring the hardness of the same test sample with different impact devices, the Leeb’s hardness values obtained will vary. For example: 720HLD≠720HLC Because different converting curves are obtained from different impact devices, when converting hardness L into another hardness value the notation for the converted hardness value should include the impact device used. For example: Hardness HV converted from hardness L using impact device D+15 should be written as 22, 8 HV LD+15. Where: 22=Hardness value HL 8=Hardness value HV L=Leeb’s Method LD+15=Impact device Hardness HRC converted from hardness L using impact device D should be written as 35, 9 HRCLD. Where: 35=Hardness value HL 9=Hardness value HRC L=Leeb’s Method D=Impact device

5. Preparation Before Measuring

5.1 Requirements For The Sample 5.1.1 The surface temperature of the sample should be less than 120 °C. 5.1.2 The samples must feature a metallic smooth, ground surface, in order to

eliminate erroneous measurements brought about by coarse grinding or lathe scoring. The roughness of the finished surface should not exceed the following values: (Table 4) Types of impact devices Surface roughness of sample Ra

D/ DC, D+15,DL,E G C

2μm 7μm

0.4μm

5.2 Requirements For The Weight Of The Sample

• For samples weighing over 5 kg and of compact shape, no support is needed. • Samples weighing between 2-5 kg and also for heavier samples with protruding

parts or thin walls should be placed on a solid support, in such a manner that they do not bend or move by the impact force.

• Samples weighing less than 2 kg should be firmly coupled with a stable support weighing over 5 kg. For coupling purposes,

The coupling surface between the sample and base plate should be flat, plane parallel and ground.

A thin proper layer of coupling paste is to be applied to the contact surface of the sample.

The sample should be firmly pressed against the surface of the base plate by moving it with a circular motion.

The direction of impact should be perpendicular to the coupling surface. For the coupling operation, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

The contact surface of the sample and the surface of the base plate must be flat, plane parallel and ground.

The direction of the test impact must be perpendicular to the coupled surface. Minimum thickness of the sample for coupling.

(Table 5) Types of impact devices D/DC,D+15,DL,E 3mm G 10mm C 1mm Proper Coupling: Proper coupling requires a little experience. Insufficiently coupled samples produce large variations of individual measurements, L-values which are too low and the operation is characterized by a rattling noise upon impact of the test tip. Example for coupling a test piece with a base plate:

Operation HARTIP-3000 Manual Rev:00 9 / 20

Page 10: HVS-1000 DİJİTAL MİKROVICKERS SERTLİK ÖLÇME CİHAZI ... · 1.2 Leeb Hardness Test (definition) ... A permanent magnet embedded in the impact body, when passing through the coil

Application of the coupling paste (As thin as possible). Mutual rubbing of both parts while firmly pressing the sample against the base plate. A particular advanced of coupling is the possibility of obtaining a very uniform, rigid connection between the sample and the support, totally eliminating stresses at the sample surface. The resulting variation in measured values is very low.

5.3 Requirement For The Surface Hardened Layer Of The Sample Surface -hardened steels and especially case-hardened steels produce L-values which are too low when case-hardening depth is small because of their soft core .When measuring with impact device D, DC, D+15, DL, E the depth of the hardened layer should be no less than 0.8 mm. When measuring with impact device C, the depth of the hardened layer should be no less than 0.2 mm. (Table 6) Types of impact devices

Min. layer thickness for surface hardening

D/DC, D+15,DL,E 0.8mm C 0.2mm

5.4 Surface Of The Test Sample Should Not Be Magnetic 5.5 Spport ring for small curvature

5.5 For test sample of curving surface with radius of curvature R less than 30mm, a small support ring should be used.

5.6 Supporting The Samples During Testing (Table 7) Types of impact devices Classification of samples heavy medium-weight light-weight D/DC, D+15,DL,E more than 5 kg 2 – 5 kg 0.05– 2 kg G more than 15 kg 5 – 15 kg 0.5 – 5 kg C more than 1.5kg 0.5–1.5kg 0.02–0.5kg When measuring hardness with HARTIP 3000, the following has to be noticed: Despite the low mass of the impact body and low impact energy, a relatively large impact force of short duration is generated when the impact body hits the measuring surface. (Table 8) Types of impact devices D/DC, D+15, DL, E G C Max. impact force 900N 2500N 500N For heavy samples of compact shape, no particular precautions are necessary. Smaller and lighter samples or workpieces yield or flex under this force, producing L-values which are too small and of excessively large variation. Even with big or heavy workpieces it is possible for thin-wall regions or thinner protruding parts to yield upon impact. Depending on the frequency of the resilient yielding action, the measured L-value may be too small or too large. In many situations, potential problems can be checked in the following manner:

a) Medium-weight samples and also heavier samples with protruding parts or thin walls should be placed on a solid support in such a manner that they do not move or flex during the test impact.

b) Light-weight samples should be rigidly “coupled” with a non-yielding support such as a heavy base plate. Clamping in a vice is of no value, since the samples become exposed to stress and because complete rigidity is never attained. As a rule, the measured L-values would be too small and show excessive variations.

5.7 Samples With Curved Surfaces Impact testers only work properly, if the impact body has a certain position in the guide tube at the moment of impacting the test surface. In the normal position, automatically present when testing flat and convex-cylindrical samples (such as round samples), the spherical test tip is located exactly at the end of the guide tube. However, when testing spherically or cylindrically shaped concave surfaces, the impact body remains further within the guide tube or protrudes further therefrom. Thus, with such types of curved surfaces, it is to be observed that radii of curvature do not drop below the values indicated in the following Fig. Curved surfaces should always be tested with the small support ring.
