Training content
This course covers the determination of the Brinell hardness of metallic materials by the Brinell indentation hardness principle. The course provides the requirements for a Brinell testing machine and the procedures for performing Brinell hardness tests. The course includes downloadable resources including a procedural outline and a pdf of the standard, instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz.
Aims - Reasons to attend
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Identify principles of test and apparatus, including the Brinell Hardness Test Principle as well as the Brinell Testing Machine and its components.
- Recognize test piece requirements, including those for thickness, width, and finish.
- Recall test procedure, including those for the indentation.
- Recall whether conversion to other hardness scales or tensile strength values is acceptable.
- Define reporting requirements as outlined for ASTM E10.
Who should attend this training?
This eLearning course is designed for: Anyone who runs the E10 test method or who needs an understanding of the test method and how it is properly run.
