Sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals - Determination of apparent hardness and microhardness (ISO 4498:2010)

This International Standard specifies methods of hardness testing of sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals. Procedure 1 determines the apparent hardness of the whole material. Procedure 1 - applies to sintered metal materials which have either not been subjected to any heat treatment, or which have been heat treated in such a way that the hardness is essentially uniform to a depth of at least 5 mm below the surface, - applies to the surfaces of sintered metal materials which have been treated in such a way that the hardness is not uniform in the section to a depth of 5 mm below the surface, - therefore applies to materials in which the hardness is obtained essentially by surface enrichment by carbon, or by carbon and nitrogen (for example by carburizing, carbonitriding, nitrocarburizing or sulfidizing), and - applies to materials which have been induction hardened. Procedure 2 determines the microhardness of the metal phase.

Metallische Sinterwerkstoffe, ausgenommen Hartmetalle - Bestimmung der Sinterhärte und der Mikrohärte (ISO 4498:2010)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Verfahren zur Prüfung der Härte von metallischen Sinterwerkstoffen,
ausgenommen Hartmetalle, fest.
1.2 Durch Verfahren 1 wird die Sinterhärte des ganzen Werkstoffes bestimmt.
Verfahren 1
⎯ gilt für metallische Sinterwerkstoffe, die entweder keiner Wärmebehandlung ausgesetzt oder einer
solchen Wärmebehandlung unterzogen wurden, dass ihre Härte bis in eine Tiefe von mindestens 5 mm
unterhalb der Oberfläche im Wesentlichen gleichförmig ist;
⎯ gilt für die Oberflächen von metallischen Sinterwerkstoffen, die so behandelt wurden, dass ihre Härte im
Schliff bis in eine Tiefe von 5 mm unterhalb der Oberfläche nicht gleichförmig ist;
⎯ gilt daher für Werkstoffe, bei denen die Härte im Wesentlichen durch Anreicherung der Oberfläche mit
Kohlenstoff oder Kohlenstoff und Stickstoff (z. B. durch Aufkohlen, Carbonitrieren, Nitrocarburieren oder
Sulfonitrocarburieren) erzielt wurde;
⎯ gilt für Werkstoffe, die induktionsgehärtet wurden.
1.3 Durch Verfahren 2 wird die Mikrohärte der Metallphase bestimmt.
Verfahren 2
⎯ gilt für alle Arten von metallischen Sinterwerkstoffen;
⎯ wird insbesondere zur Bestimmung des Härteprofils von einsatzgehärteten oder carbonitrierten Werkstoffen
nach dem in ISO 4507 beschriebenen Verfahren angewendet;
⎯ gilt auch für metallische Sinterwerkstoffe, die Oberflächenbehandlungen unterzogen wurden wie Galvanisieren,
chemische Beschichtung, CVD-Verfahren, PVD-Verfahren, Laser, Ionenbeschuss, usw. Für die
Bestimmung der Mikrohärte von behandelten Oberflächen gilt Verfahren 2.
ANMERKUNG Es sollte jedoch beachtet werden, dass über eine Anzahl von Faktoren im Bereich der Mikrohärteprüfung
international noch keine Einigung erzielt wurde. Dennoch sind die nach Verfahren 2 festgelegten Parameter von
hinreichender Bedeutung, um ein erhebliches Maß an Übereinstimmung bei den in der Praxis im großen Umfang
angewandten Techniken zu ermöglichen.

Matériaux métalliques frittés, à l'exclusion des métaux-durs - Détermination de la dureté apparente et de la microdureté (ISO 4498:2010)

L'ISO 4498:2010 spécifie les méthodes d'essai de la dureté des matériaux métalliques frittés, à l'exclusion des métaux-durs.
Le mode opératoire 1 détermine la dureté apparente de l'ensemble du matériau.
Le mode opératoire 1
s'applique aux matériaux métalliques frittés qui n'ont été soumis à aucun traitement thermique, ou qui ont subi un traitement thermique tel que leur dureté soit essentiellement uniforme jusqu'à une profondeur d'au moins 5 mm au-dessous de la surface,
s'applique aux surfaces des matériaux métalliques frittés qui ont subi un traitement tel que leur dureté ne soit pas uniforme sur une section de profondeur de 5 mm au-dessous de la surface,
s'applique par conséquent aux matériaux dont la dureté est obtenue essentiellement par enrichissement de la surface en carbone ou carbone et azote (par exemple cémentation, carbonitruration, nitrocarburation ou sulfuration), et
s'applique aux matériaux qui ont été trempés par induction.
Le mode opératoire 2 détermine la microdureté de la phase métallique.
Le mode opératoire 2
s'applique à tous les types de matériaux métalliques frittés,
est spécialement utilisé pour déterminer le profil de dureté des matériaux cémentés ou carbonitrurés, conformément à la méthode décrite dans l'ISO 4507, et
s'applique également à tout matériau métallique fritté qui a été soumis à un traitement de surface tel que le revêtement électrolytique, le revêtement chimique, le dépôt chimique en phase vapeur (CVD), le dépôt physique en phase vapeur (PVD), le laser, le bombardement ionique, etc. Le mode opératoire 2 s'applique en vue de la détermination de la microdureté des surfaces traitées.

Sintrane kovine brez trdin - Določevanje trdote in mikrotrdote (ISO 4498:2010)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metode preskušanja trdote sintranih kovin brez trdnin. Postopek 1 določa navidezno trdoto celotnega materiala. Postopek 1 – velja za sintrane kovine, ki niso bile toplotno obdelane ali ki so bile toplotno obdelane na takšen način, da je trdota enakomerna po globini vsaj 5 mm pod površino, - velja za površine sintranih kovin, ki so bile obdelane na takšen način, da trdota ni enakomerna v prerezu globine 5 mm pod površino, - zato velja za materiale, pri katerih je trdota predvsem posledica površinske obogatitve z ogljikom ali ogljikom in dušikom (na primer z ogljičenjem, karbonitridiranjem, nitrokarburiranjem ali sulfidizacijo), in – velja za materiale, ki so bili indukcijsko utrjeni. Postopek 2 določa mikrotrdoto kovinske faze.

ISO 4498:2010(E) iv © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 4498 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 119, Powder metallurgy, Subcommittee SC 3, Sampling and testing methods for sintered metal materials (excluding hardmetals). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4498:2005), of which it constitutes a minor revision. SIST EN ISO 4498:2010



ISO 4498:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved v Introduction Sintered metal materials generally have a porous structure. Therefore, they can be understood as composite metal/pore materials. That is why this International Standard describes two procedures to determine their hardness: ⎯ Procedure 1 for the macrohardness (this is the apparent hardness); ⎯ Procedure 2 for the microhardness (this is the hardness of the metallic phase only). Tests in Procedure 1 determine Vickers, Brinell and/or Rockwell macrohardnesses; their acronyms are: HV, HBW and HR. These tests determine the apparent hardness (macrohardness) of the materials because indentations generally include both the solid phase and a number of pores. The usual test forces applied to an indenter are from 10 N to 2 000 N. The apparent hardness value is often used as an expression of the mechanical strength of the material as a whole; it is usually lower than that of a solid material of the same composition and metallurgical condition. However, this does not imply that the functional characteristics (for example wear resistance) are necessarily inferior to those of an equivalent full-density material. The apparent hardness is a macrostructural property. It characterizes the material taken as a whole. Tests in Procedure 2 determine the Vickers and/or Knoop microhardnesses of the material; their acronyms are: HVa and HKa1). The usual test forces applied to an indenter are from 0,147 N to 1,960 N for Vickers, and 0,981 N for Knoop. The microhardness is a microstructural property used to control chemical composition, heat treatment or surface treatment. For these purposes, it is necessary to ensure that hardness test indentations are small enough not to include any visible pores, but only the solid phase.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4498:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved 1 Sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals — Determination of apparent hardness and microhardness 1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard specifies methods of hardness testing of sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals. 1.2 Procedure 1 determines the apparent hardness of the whole material. Procedure 1 ⎯ applies to sintered metal materials which have either not been subjected to any heat treatment, or which have been heat treated in such a way that the hardness is essentially uniform to a depth of at least 5 mm below the surface, ⎯ applies to the surfaces of sintered metal materials which have been treated in such a way that the hardness is not uniform in the section to a depth of 5 mm below the surface,
⎯ therefore applies to materials in which the hardness is obtained essentially by surface enrichment by carbon, or by carbon and nitrogen (for example by carburizing, carbonitriding, nitrocarburizing or sulfidizing), and ⎯ applies to materials which have been induction hardened. 1.3 Procedure 2 determines the microhardness of the metal phase. Procedure 2 ⎯ applies to all types of sintered metal materials, ⎯ is used, in particular, to determine the hardness profile of case-hardened or carbonitrided materials in accordance with the method described in ISO 4507, and ⎯ also applies to any sintered metallic materials which have been subjected to surface treatments such as electrodeposited plating, chemical coating, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), physical vapour deposition (PVD), laser, ion bombardment, etc. To determine the microhardness of treated surfaces, Procedure 2 applies. NOTE However, an international agreement has not yet been reached on a number of factors involved in microhardness testing. Nevertheless, the parameters defined in Procedure 2 are important enough to enable a considerable measure of standardization of extensively used practices. SIST EN ISO 4498:2010

Procedure 2: Vickers and Knoop microhardness testing machines and test methods meeting the requirements of ISO 4516. 4 Sampling and preparation of test pieces 4.1 Since the apparent hardness of a sintered material is affected by density, which can vary throughout a part, the position of the hardness indentations, for the purpose of quality control, shall be agreed between the parties. 4.2 The sintered metal surface shall be clean, smooth and flat to obtain well-defined hardness indentations. Test samples will have anvil-support surfaces filed or ground flat wherever practicable, so as to prevent burrs from affecting results. This is particularly important when determining Vickers and Brinell hardness. Emery paper of 180 to 240 grit is acceptable for grinding. It is generally found sufficient to clean the surface with a suitable solvent. If not, the surface may be lightly polished, provided that laboratory measurements have shown that the influence of such polishing is insignificant. NOTE This polishing can be carried out, for example, by using metallographic paper or a 6 µm diamond paste. 4.3 Microhardness can be measured either on the surface of a part or on a cross-section of the part normal to the surface. For microhardness determinations, it is necessary to ensure that the surface is smooth enough to allow measurement of the indentation diagonal length accurately. The sampl

The apparent hardness is a macrostructural property. It characterizes the material taken as a whole. Tests in Procedure 2 determine the Vickers and/or Knoop microhardnesses of the material; their acronyms are: HVa and HKa1). The usual test forces applied to an indenter are from 0,147 N to 1,960 N for Vickers, and 0,981 N for Knoop. The microhardness is a microstructural property used to control chemical composition, heat treatment or surface treatment. For these purposes, it is necessary to ensure that hardness test indentations are small enough not to include any visible pores, but only the solid phase.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 4498:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved 1 Sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals — Determination of apparent hardness and microhardness 1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard specifies methods of hardness testing of sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals. 1.2 Procedure 1 determines the apparent hardness of the whole material. Procedure 1 ⎯ applies to sintered metal materials which have either not been subjected to any heat treatment, or which have been heat treated in such a way that the hardness is essentially uniform to a depth of at least 5 mm below the surface, ⎯ applies to the surfaces of sintered metal materials which have been treated in such a way that the hardness is not uniform in the section to a depth of 5 mm below the surface,
⎯ therefore applies to materials in which the hardness is obtained essentially by surface enrichment by carbon, or by carbon and nitrogen (for example by carburizing, carbonitriding, nitrocarburizing or sulfidizing), and ⎯ applies to materials which have been induction hardened. 1.3 Procedure 2 determines the microhardness of the metal phase. Procedure 2 ⎯ applies to all types of sintered metal materials, ⎯ is used, in particular, to determine the hardness profile of case-hardened or carbonitrided materials in accordance with the method described in ISO 4507, and ⎯ also applies to any sintered metallic materials which have been subjected to surface treatments such as electrodeposited plating, chemical coating, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), physical vapour deposition (PVD), laser, ion bombardment, etc. To determine the microhardness of treated surfaces, Procedure 2 applies. NOTE However, an international agreement has not yet been reached on a number of factors involved in microhardness testing. Nevertheless, the parameters defined in Procedure 2 are important enough to enable a considerable measure of standardization of extensively used practices. kSIST FprEN ISO 4498:2010

Procedure 2: Vickers and Knoop microhardness testing machines and test methods meeting the requirements of ISO 4516. 4 Sampling and preparation of test pieces 4.1 Since the apparent hardness of a sintered material is affected by density, which can vary throughout a part, the position of the hardness indentations, for the purpose of quality control, shall be agreed between the parties. 4.2 The sintered metal surface shall be clean, smooth and flat to obtain well-defined hardness indentations. Test samples will have anvil-support surfaces filed or ground flat wherever practicable, so as to prevent burrs from affecting results. This is particularly important when determining Vickers and Brinell hardness. Emery paper of 180 to 240 grit is acceptable for grinding. It is generally found sufficient to clean the surface with a suitable solvent. If not, the surface may be lightly polished, provided that laboratory measurements have shown that the influence of such polishing is insignificant. NOTE Thi
