4 Denominations and symbols
This standard specifies micro hardness tests on

transverse sections of welded joints of metallic
materials with high hardness gmhents. It covers
Vickers hardness tests in accordance with IS0 DIS
6507-1, normally with test loads of 0,98 N to less than
49 N (HV0,l to less than HV5).
Testing should be carried out to ensure that the highest
and/or the lowest level of hardness of both parent
metal (in the case of dissimilar parent metals) and
weld metal are determined.
The type and extent of testing shall be as specified by
an appication standard or by agreement between the
contracting parties.
This standard does not cover the hardness test as
described in EN 1043-1.
The denominations and symbols to be used are

specified in table 1 and represented in figures 1to 3.

3 Principle
Micro hardness testing shall be carried out in
accordance with ISODIS aO7-1.
The micro hardness tests may be &ed out in the
form of rows of indentations (R), or as individual
indentations (E).
When types of weld are not shown in the examples,
the test procedure shall be appropriate to the welded
joint.
Unless otherwise specified, the test shall be carried out
at ambient temperature (23 5) "C.

5 Preparation of test specimens

The preparation of the test specimen shall be in
accordance with ISO/DIS 6507-1.
A cross section of test piece shall be taken by
mechanical cutting, usually transverse to the welded
joint.
This operation and the subsequent preparation of the
surface shall be carried out carefully so that the
hardness of the surface to be tested is not affected
metallurgically
The surface to be tested shall be properly prepared
and preferably etched, so that accurate measurements
of the diagonal of the indentations can be achieved in
the different zones of the welded joint.
6 Test procedure
6.1 Rows of indentations (R)
Figures 1to 3 give examples of hardness indentations
made in rows, including the distance from the surface,
so that these rows, or parts of them, permit
assessment of the welded joint. If required by the
contsacting parties, aditiona rows of indentations
andor different locations may be made. The location
shall be stated in the test report.
In metals such as aluminium, copper and their alloys,
the rows on the root-side of butt welds (see figure 1)
are not necessw.
The number and spacing of indentations shall be
sufficient to define hardened or softened regions due
to welding. Recommended distances between the
centrepoint of the indentations in the heat affected
zone (HAZ) are given in table 2.

6.2 Individual indentations E

Figure 4 shows typical areas for the location of
individual indentations. The series 14 gives
information about the unaffected parent metal; the
series 5-8 refers to the HAZ and the series 9-11 to the
weld metal. Otherwise, the location of the indentation
can be determined on the basis of metallographic
examination.
To prevent the influence of deformation caused by an
indentation, the minimum distance between the
centrepoint of individual indentations in any direction
shall not be less than 2,5 times the mean diagonal of
the nearest a a c e n t indentation.
For metals which harden in the HAZ as a result of
welding, at least one indentation shall be made in the
HAZ at a distance of 9 0,5 mm between the
centrepoint of the indentation and the fusion line.
For testing with individual indentations, the areas shall
be numbered as shown in figure 4.

Sufficient indentations shall be made to ensure that

unaffected parent metal is tested. In the weld metai,
the distance between indentations shall be selected
and checked so that the results obtained enable
assessment of the welded joint to be made.
For metals that harden in the HAZ as a result of
welding, two additional indentations in the HAZ shail
be made at a distance not exceeding 0,5 mm between
the centrepoint of the indentation and the fusion line
(see figure 2).
For other joint configurations or metals (e.g. austenitic
steels) special requirements may be given by an
application standard or by agreement between the
contracting parties.
