Abstract

The aim of the submitted work is to study the influence of applied loads ranging from 0.09807 N to 0.9807 N on measured values of micro-hardness of heat treated carbon steel. The influence of applied load on measured value of micro-hardness was evaluated by Meyer’s index n, PSR method and by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The influence of the load on the measured value of micro-hardness is statistically significant and the relationship between applied load and micro-hardness manifests the moderate reverse ISE. As far as the relationship between measured hardness and load independent “true hardness”, the best fit was obtained between HV0.05 and “true hardness” calculated using index a2.
