Vickers Hardness in Mechanical Behaviour and Testing Formulas

Vickers Hardness test consists of applying a force (also called a “load”) on the test material using a diamond indenter, to obtain an indentation. And is denoted by HV. Vickers Hardness is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter for Pressure. Note that the value of Vickers Hardness is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Vickers Hardness?

Vickers Hardness test consists of applying a force (also called a “load”) on the test material using a diamond indenter, to obtain an indentation. Vickers Hardness is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter for Pressure. Note that the value of Vickers Hardness is always positive.

Can the Vickers Hardness be negative?

No, the Vickers Hardness, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Vickers Hardness?

Vickers Hardness is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter[kgf/mm²] for Pressure. Pascal[kgf/mm²], Kilopascal[kgf/mm²], Bar[kgf/mm²] are the few other units in which Vickers Hardness can be measured.
