NEW DELHI 110002 July 2013 Price Group 8 Mechanical Testing of Metals Sectional Committee, MTD 03 NATIONAL FOREWORD This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Fourth Revision) which is identical with ISO 6507-1 : 2005 ‘Metallic materials — Vickers hardness test — Part 1: Test method’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Mechanical Testing of Metals Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council This revision has been undertaken to harmonize it with the latest developments that have taken place at international level. The committee has now decided to adopt this standard under dual numbering system and make it align with ISO 6507, which is published in four parts. Similarly, this standard is also published in four parts. The other parts in this series are: Part2_ Verification and calibration of testing machines Part3_ Calibration of reference blocks Part4. Tables of hardness values This standard superseding IS 1501 : 2002 ‘Method for Vickers hardness test for metallic materials (third revision). The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following 1) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker. The ambient temperature of 10° to 35°C as specified in this standard is not suitable for tropical countries like India where the atmospheric temperature is normally much higher than 35°C (the atmospheric temperature rises even up to 50°C) specially during summer. Itis almost impossible to maintain this temperature, therefore, the requirement of ambient temperature, that is, 10°to 35°C is being modified. The prevailing atmospheric temperature for the tropical countries like India shall be referred. In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian ‘Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their respective places are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated: International Standard Corresponding Indian Standard Degree of Equivalence ISO 6507-2 : 2005 Metallic IS 1501 (Part 2) ; 2013 Metallic Identical ‘matorials— Vickers hardness test— materials — Vickers hardness test: Part 2: Verification and calibration of Part 2 Verification and calibration of testing machines testing machines (fourth revision) 1S0 6507-4 : 2008 Metallic materials IS 1501 (Part 4) : 2013 Metallic do — Vickers hardness test — Part 4: Tables of hardness values materials — Vickers hardness test: Part 4 Tables of hardness values (fourth revision) In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, ‘observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. 1S 1501 (Part 1) : 2013 ISO 6507-1 : 2005 Indian Standard METALLIC MATERIALS — VICKERS HARDNESS TEST PART 1 TEST METHOD (Fourth Revision ) 1 Scope This part of |SO 6507 specifies the Vickers hardness test method, for the three different ranges of test force for metallic materials (see Table 1) Table 1 — Ranges of test force Ranges of test force, Hardness symbol Designation N F 2 49.03) HVS Vickers hardness test 1.961 = F 48,03 HV0.2t0< HVS Low-foree Viekers hardness test 0.098 07 = F< 1,961 HV O01 to
