Scope
GB/T 43432.3-2023 is the English-translated version of 金属材料 巴氏硬度试验 第3部分:标准硬度块的标定.
GB/T 43432.3-2023 is the calibration standard for the Barcol standard hardness blocks that clause 1 describes as serving the indirect verification of Barcol hardness testers under GB/T 43432.2.
Clause 4 fixes how the blocks are made and the geometry Table 1 requires, with diameters of 28 mm to 40 mm and limits on flatness, on the parallelism of the test and supporting surfaces and on surface roughness, and it forbids cracks or scratches.
Calibration uses a standard Vickers hardness machine complying with clause 4 of GB/T 4340.3-2012, and the contents list then covers the calibration method, the number of indentations, the hardness value, hardness uniformity, marking and the period of validity.
Annexes give an HV to HBa conversion table and an uncertainty assessment method. Issued on 27 November 2023, it has applied since 1 June 2024.

Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.
This document is Part 3 of GB/T 43432 "Barcol Hardness Test of Metallic Materials". GB/T 43432 has released the following part.
---Part 2. Inspection and calibration of hardness tester;
---Part 3. Calibration of standard hardness blocks.
Introduction
GB/T 43432 "Barcol Hardness Test of Metal Materials" aims to standardize the test methods and inspection of test instruments for Barcol hardness. It is planned to be composed of three composed of parts.
---Part 1. Test methods. The purpose is to establish the procedures and methods to be followed for Barcol hardness testing.
---Part 2. Inspection and calibration of hardness tester. The purpose is to stipulate the technical requirements and inspection and calibration methods that the Barcol hardness tester must meet.
Law. It stipulates the direct inspection method for testing the basic functions of the hardness tester and the indirect inspection method for testing the comprehensive performance of the hardness tester.
---Part 3. Calibration of standard hardness blocks. The purpose is to determine the technical requirements and calibration methods that the Barcol standard hardness block needs to meet.
1 Scope
This document specifies the Barcol standard hardness block (hereinafter referred to as the standard hardness block) used for indirect inspection of the Barcol hardness tester according to GB/T 43432.2. Calibration method of standard block).
This document is applicable to the calibration of Barcol standard hardness blocks.
2 Normative reference documents
The contents of the following documents constitute essential provisions of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, the dated quotations For undated referenced documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated referenced documents, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document.

3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 36416.1 apply to this document.
4 Manufacturing of standard blocks
4.1 Standard blocks should be specially manufactured. The manufacturing process of the standard block should ensure that the standard block obtains the necessary homogeneity, structural stability and hardness. Uniformity.
4.2 The geometric dimensions and technical requirements of the standard block should comply with the provisions of Table 1.
Geometry Diameter Thickness Test surface and supporting surface flatness Test surface and supporting surface parallelism mm/mm test surface and supporting surface Surface roughness Raa µm 28~40 0.8±0.1 <=0.05 <=0.05/50 <=0.4 a The sampling length for measuring surface roughness is 0.8mm (see 3.1.9 of GB/T 3505-2009).
4.3 The test surface and supporting surface of the standard block should not have defects such as cracks or scratches.
5 Standard Vickers hardness machine for testing
5.1 Use a standard Vickers hardness machine for calibration. The standard Vickers hardness machine should comply with the provisions of Chapter 4 of GB/T 4340.3-2012.
