Calculation of Correction Factors for Vickers’ Hardness Measurements on a Non-Planar Surface by S. G. Sandomirski, A. L. Val’ko, S. P. Rudenko

“…That is, the error is reduced by a factor of about √n 2 in comparison with the calculation according to the regulated procedure. This is illustrated by the above numerical data and an example of the use of the method.The obtained formulas for calculation of correction coefficients K when measuring hardness HV on spherical and cylindrical (concave and convex) surfaces are reasonable to use for automatic calculation of HV on items with a non-planar surface.…”
