Information on these instructions |
Introduction |
Compared to customary Vickers low-load hardness testers, the MICRODUR series from Krautkrämer does not evaluate with a microscope but uses the UCI method electronically. The measured hardness is instantly displayed digitally and high reproducibility of the test results is achieved. The indent in the surface of the material is microscopic.
We are constantly working on further instrument development. Therefore we hope that you appreciate our right to carry out technical changes.
Your nearest Krautkrämer Sales Center is ready to help you concerning service questions. In addition to this, you can contact our Customer Service or Service Center directly at our company. The addresses are shown on pages 12-8 - 12-9 under "Service addresses".

Conditions for hardness testing |
1.4 Conditions for hardness testing
You will find all the essential instructions for operation of the MIC 10. In addition to this there are a series of factors which affect the test results. Due to the fact that a description of these factors would extend beyond the scope of this manual, the three most important conditions are as follows:
•training of the operator
•knowledge of the special technical requirements and limits
•selection of the suitable test setup
Training of the operator
For reliable application of a hardness tester suitable training in the field of material testing is required.
Suitable training means, for example, suitable knowledge about:
•hardness testing on metallic materials.
•effects of material properties, especially the structure, on the hardness test and the selection of a suitable hardness testing setup connected with it.
•the problems of comparability of different hardnesses such Vickers, Rockwell and Brinell. Also refer to the information given in the Appendix.
•the effects of surface treatment on the hardness value.
•the effect of the test load, and the size of the indent connected with it, on the determined hardness value.
Please read also the instructions in chapter 1.5.
) Attention:
Insufficient knowledge of the above mentioned fields can cause wrong test results and could have unforseeable consequences.

Every hardness test has certain requirements. The most important are:
•determination of the test scope
•selection of a suitable testing technique
•consideration of the material properties
•Determination of the evaluation limits

New display
The MIC 10 display has changed as from instrument serial number 1001. Please take into account when retrofitting new software to an instrument having a smaller serial number. This change does not affect the operation in any way.
Selection of a suitable test setup
It is the task of the person responsible for the test to inform the operator about the test requirements. In addition to this, a clear and complete interpretation of the corresponding test specifications is urgently required.
Information about the test method and test specifications are, amongst others, obtainable from different institutes, industrial companies and authorities.

Introduction |
Important notes on MIC 10 |
In the following you will find a summary of the most important technical test requirements that you always have to comply with to ensure correct measurements.
Test material
The test loads (probes) must match the surface quality of the material:
•smooth, homogeneous surfaces require low test loads
•rougher, coarse-grained surfaces require as high test loads as possible.
The surfaces must always be free of any impurities (oil, dust, etc.) and rust.
The surfaces roughness should not exceed approx. 30 % of the penetration depth.
Thin metal sheets must have a thickness corresponding to the tenfold indentation depth of the Vickers diamond.
For more details, please also read Chapter 12.3 and especially the tables on page 12-5.
UCI method
The UCi method is a comparative method (contribution of the Young’s modulus to the measurement) with a very high reproducibility of the measurements. The UCI method does not replace the classical testing according to Vickers, but it forms a quick and reliable complement to it.
The direct comparison with the results from the standardized Vickers measurement according to the material samples is therefore imperative for the evaluation of the measurement accuracy of the UCI method. This means:
) Attention:
It is absolutely necessary that you calibrate your MIC 10 to the material under test.
For this purpose, the calibration only has to be carried out once since you can easily store and recall or set a calibration.
The calibration for low-alloy or unalloyed steel is already preset in the instrument. Check it from time to time (refer to Chapter 9.1 Check function)
For more details on the UCI method, please also read Chapter 12.1.

Conversion of hardness values
The conversion of hardness values into other hardness scales is only possible with certain restrictions. You should only carry out conversions if
•the specified test method cannot be applied (e.g. because there is no suitable test instrument)
•it is not possible to take the required samples for the specified test method.
Please read also Chapter 12.2 for this.
) Attention:
Wrong calibration and unacceptable or illegal conversions can cause grave errors in the interpretation of measurement result.
Protection against moisture
) Attention:
Only use the MIC 10 DL (Data Logger version with board slot) in a dry environment and only clean it with a dry cloth.

Preparations for operation |
Battery supply |
In order to prepare the MIC 10 for operation you must carry out the following:
•check the battery supply
•connect the probe
3.1 Battery supply
The MIC 10 is driven by batteries or accumulators. For this you need two 1.5 V Mignon cells (DIN 40 766):
•dry cells (AlMn) or
•rechargeable (Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metalhy- drid).
We recommend the use of Nickel-Metalhydrid batteries because the operation time is increased by 60%
The use of batteries or accumulators
You can insert batteries (AlMn) or accumulators (NiCd, NiMH).
–Loosen the screws on the battery compartment (e.g. with a coin).
–Open the battery compartment.
–Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (this is marked in the battery compartment).
–Screw the cover back onto the battery compartment.

0Note:
If the instrument is not going to be used for a long period, remove the batteries from the compartment!
When the battery voltage is too low a symbol will appear on the MIC 10 display:
If this symbol appears, the batteries must be immediately changed. The MIC 10 automatically switches off if the batteries are too low in order to guarantee reliable measurement.
When measurements are made at remote locations a spare set of batteries should be present.
Further information with regard to batteries and accumulators can be found in Chapter 8.1.
0Note:
Used or defective batteries are special refuse and must be disposed of according to the governing laws!
3.2 Connection of hand-held probes
In order to prepare the MIC 10 for operation, the probe must be connected. The probes available for the
MIC 10 are: MIC 201-A (1 kgf), MIC 205-A (5 kgf) and MIC 2010-A (10 kgf).
–Connect the probe to the probe cable. The red marking points at probe socket and cable connector must be on top of each other.
–Connect the probe cable to the MIC 10 socket.
–Place the probe grip onto the probe.
–Screw on the conical probe attachment for short measurements (refer to Chapter 2.2 Required accessories).

urements with defined measurement times (refer to |
|
Chapter 2.2 Required accessories). |
|
The MIC 10 is now ready for operation. |
|
0Note: |
|
If you wish to carry out measurements with defined |
|
measurement times, use a test support: |
|
• DH 191 test support for series measurements |
|
• MIC 222 test support for precise probe guiding |
|
By doing this you will avoid measurement inaccuracies. |
