Experimental Procedure:
1. Jdentify the given material by inspection.
Calculate the load to be applied using the formula P/D²= K.
K-constant - depending on the material (5 -30 ) whether it is soft or hard. For
soft metals like Al =5,Cu= 10 , For hard metals like Steel=30, Cast Iron =

D- diameter of the indentor ball.
P- Load required for indentation.
Ifthe thickness ofthe material being tested is T>6mm then D=10mm,
ifT=3-6 mm then D= Smm and T< 3mm then D= 2.5 mm.

Vickers Hardness Testing:

A diamond pyramid indenter (136°) is used here. Loads in the range of lgm to 120
kg. is applied gradually on to the specimen through the indenter. The dimensions
(diagonal) of the resulting impression is measured accurately using the inbuilt
micrometer microscope attachment. Hardness is calculated by using the formula
VHN = 1.8544 P/² or directly read from the chart.
