Product overview of Brinell hardness tester

Brinell hardness tester can be used to test castings, forgings, steel in the delivery state, non-ferrous metals and semi-finished steel workpieces that have undergone quenching and tempering heat treatment. This is a portable instrument that can be used in the workshop. It is simple to operate and easy to carry. It can test large workpieces on site without sampling, and can realize piece-by-piece inspection of large workpieces.
Brinell hardness tester is mainly used to test the hardness of forged steel and cast iron with uneven structure. The Brinell hardness of forged steel and gray cast iron has a good correspondence with the tensile test. The Brinell hardness test can also be used on non-ferrous metals and mild steel, using a small diameter ball indenter to measure small size and thin materials. Brinell hardness tester is mostly used for testing raw materials and semi-finished products. Due to the large indentation, it is generally not used for testing finished products.
The selection of Brinell hardness test conditions is the same as the selection of the scale in the Rockwell hardness test. The Brinell hardness test also encounters the selection of test conditions, that is, the selection of the test force F and the indenter ball diameter D. This choice is not arbitrary, but must follow certain rules, and attention must be paid to the reasonable combination of test force and indenter ball diameter. The application is slightly more complicated than the Rockwell hardness test.
