Data Processing ISO 14577-1 (Annex A) Compliant Evaluation
(Instrumented Indentation Test for Hardness)

Simply set the required items to obtain the desired information. Relationship between test force and indentation depth during indentation process can,
in accordance with ISO 14577-1 (Annex A), be used to evaluate hardness, elastic modulus,
and amount of work done.
Data Processing Items
· Results display HM : Martens hardness Cit : Indentation creep
· Data output for test force and depth HMs : Martens hardness obtained from gradient of graph of test force ηit : Indentation work rate
· Graph output for test force and depth versus depth HV* : Vickers hardness obtained by converting Hit

· Graph output for hardness and depth Hit
Eit : Indentation elastic modulus
· Graph output for hardness between 2 points and depth
· Graph output for depth and time 1. Indentation Elastic Modulus (E it)
· Graph output for hardness and test force Definition of indentation elastic modulus (Eit) states Here, Force
Er : Converted elastic modulus based on indentation contact F max Load–unload

h c = h max − 0.75(h max − h r)
If Poisson's ratio for the specimen is set in the test parameters, the DUH-211/211S calculates Eit.
