Abstract

The present paper aims at proposing an appropriate mathematical model and a finite element model of the microhardness test describing the deformation process. The finite element numerical simulations of Vickers microhardness test are performed. Different 2D axisymmetric and 3D-numerical finite element models are considered to describe the deformation processes. For the two-dimensional finite element model a substituting rigid conical indenter is used as an equivalent to the standard tetrahedral Vickers’ pyramid. As a result of 2D and 3D finite element simulations, the load-penetration depth (P-h) curves are obtained numerically and compared with the P-h curves obtained from the experimental data. The results, obtained by numerical simulations give good coincidence with the experimental results.
