Introduction

Analysis of the key points of standard update

Revised items GB/T7997-1987 GB/T7997-2014
Test temperature Not clearly specified 10-35℃ (Strict test 23±5℃)
Rounding of values According to Appendix C of GB1.1-1981 Rounded to tenth place according to GB/T8170
Specimen requirements Surface contaminant requirements are not specified Prohibition of lubricant residues is added

Core test requirements

Hardness tester must meet the requirements of GB/T4340.2, with a test force range of 9.807-490.3N (1-50kgf), and 294.2N (30kgf) is recommended. The diamond indenter should maintain an angle of 136°, and the accuracy of the measuring device is graded according to the indentation size:

  • d<100μm: ±0.2μm
  • 100-200μm: ±1.0μm
  • d≥200μm: ±0.5%

Specimen preparation specifications

Typical preparation process:

  1. Remove ≥0.2mm surface layer
  2. Polishing according to GB/T3489
  3. Ensure sample thickness ≥1μm
  4. Curved specimens need to be prepared with a flat surface
  5. Irregular specimens need to be mounted and fixed

Special note: The distance between adjacent indentations should be ≥3 times the average value of the diagonal, and ≥2.5 times the average value from the edge.


Implementation Suggestions

Common Problems Solutions
Irregular indentation shape Stop the test immediately and replace the indenter
Diagonal difference>5% Resample and record abnormalities
Large temperature fluctuations Use a constant temperature laboratory (23±2℃)

Technology Evolution Analysis

This standard improves the comparability of test results by introducing modern numerical rounding rules (GB/T8170) and clarifying environmental control requirements. Appendix A provides 7 sets of hardness comparison tables (1-50kgf test force) using the new calculation formula: HV=0.102×2F×sin(136°/2)/d², which is more in line with international standards than the 1987 version.

Result report elements

  • Standard number GB/T7997-2014
  • Specimen identification information
  • Average hardness rounded to ten
  • Special treatment instructions
  • Environmental abnormality records
