Applied Technical Services (ATS) performs Brinell Hardness Tests.
ATS’ Brinell Hardness Tests Capabilities
Originally devised in 1900, the Brinell Hardness technique remains the “traditional” hardness test in comparison to different testing methods. The Brinell Hardness test calculates the hardness of a material by forcing a carbide ball into the surface of a material for a pre-determined amount of time. Upon removal, the impression left from the ball is measured to determine its resistance to penetration.
The hardness of a material is related to its processing and heat treat condition, independent of physical properties. Castings and forgings remain ideal candidates for Brinell Hardness testing, as they possess a coarser structure or multiple phases that cannot be accounted for through alternative testing methods that use much smaller indenters and test areas.
ASTM Test Standards
Brinell Hardness testing is conducted by the ATS Lab in accordance with the ASTM E10 operating standard. ASTM standards are developed to ensure international technical understanding of over 12,500 verifiable procedures. Vitality and progression are retained throughout the development of such standards to uphold the foundation of a collaborative environment aimed to promote worldwide competence and to respond to essential changes.
