Rockwell hardness test for welded joints
Thread Content
Dear experts, regarding the hardness testing of welded joints, GB/T2654 \"Methods for Testing the Hardness of Welded Joints\" and GB/T27552 \"Microhardness Testing of Welded Joints\" specify the Vickers and Brinell methods; we only have a Rockwell hardness tester available. Is there any standard for conducting Rockwell hardness testing on welded joints?
Brinell hardness (HB) is commonly used to measure steel workpieces that have been annealed, normalized, or quenched and tempered; it offers high reliability and good repeatability in measurements. Rockwell hardness is commonly used for workpieces with relatively high hardness after quenching and tempering. Vickers hardness is commonly used for the testing of high hardness.
