The Brinell hardness test to DIN EN ISO 6506-1:2015-02 is an established method for determining the hardness of soft to medium-hard materialsAt GWP we offer these accredited examination to the mechanical properties of materials such as cast iron, aluminum alloys, Copper and heterogeneous and multiphase structures to evaluate precisely.
What is the Brinell hardness test?
The Brinell hardness test uses a hardened steel or carbide body that is pressed into the material with a defined load. The diameter of the resulting indentation is measured to determine the hardness in Brinell hardness (HB) This method is particularly suitable for materials with a coarse-grained structure and provides reliable values that are crucial for material selection and quality control.
Fields of application
- cast iron: Testing of cast iron components to ensure their strength and durability.
- aluminum alloys: Evaluation of mechanical properties for applications in the automotive and aerospace industries.
- Copper: Investigation of copper alloys in electrical applications and mechanical engineering.
- Heterogeneous and multiphase structures: Analysis of complex materials for innovative applications.
load levels and stress levels
The Brinell hardness test can be carried out in various load levels be carried out, e.g.:
- HBW 2,5/62,5
- HBW 2,5/178,5
- HBW 5/250
The selection of the stress level (e.g. 10 or 30) enables precise adaptation to the specific requirements of your material.
