In the medium and low hardness value range, on the same homogeneous material, the Vickers hardness test and Brinell hardness test results will give approximate hardness values. For example, when the hardness value is below 400, HV≈HB
The test force of Vickers hardness test can be as small as 10gF, and the indentation is very small, which is especially suitable for testing thin and small materials.
