The Vickers hardness test is subdivided into three types of tests according to the test force, namely: Vickers hardness test, small load Vickers hardness test and micro Vickers hardness test. see table 1
Table 1 Three methods of Vickers hardness test
Vickers hardness test has a variety of test force values, see the table below.
Recommended Vickers Hardness Test Force
Note:
1. The Vickers hardness test can use a test force greater than 980.7N;
2. The micro-Vickers test force is the recommended value.
