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.
