METALS AND THEIR ALLOYS
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides specifications for a wide range of materials, including metals and their alloys. These standards are essential for ensuring quality, safety, and efficiency in both manufacturing processes and industrial applications.
Metals and Alloys
Metals and their alloys are fundamental materials in numerous sectors, from mechanical engineering to construction. ISO standards cover various aspects, including chemical composition, mechanical properties, and testing methods.
Relevant ISO Standards
ISO 6892-1: Determination of mechanical properties of metals by tensile testing.
ISO 6507-1: Vickers hardness test.
ISO 4957: Tool steels.
Specification Tables
| ISO Standard | Material | Test | Main Parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 6892-1 | Steel, Aluminum | Tensile Test | Tensile Strength, Elongation |
| ISO 6507-1 | Various metals | Vickers Hardness Test | Applied Load, Indentation |
| ISO 4957 | Tool Steels | Various | Composition, Strength |
Vickers Hardness Test
The Vickers hardness test, governed by ISO 6507-1, measures a material's resistance to permanent deformation. This test is particularly important for assessing the hardness of metals and alloys in industrial applications.
