This part of ISO9015 specifies microhardness testing on transverse sections of welded joints of metallic materials with high hardness gradients. It covers Vickers hardness tests in accordance with ISO6507‑1 , normally with test loads of 0,98N to less than 49N (HV 0,1 to less than HV 5). NOTE Testing ensures that the highest and/or the lowest level of hardness of both parent materials (in the case of dissimilar materials both parent materials) and weld metal is determined. This part of ISO9015 is not applicable to hardness testing of welds with loads of 49,03N and above, which is covered by ISO9015‑1 . This part of ISO9015 is not applicable to Vickers hardness testing of resistance spot, projection and seam welds, which is covered by ISO14271 . This part of ISO9015 is not applicable to hardness testing of very narrow welds, e.g. those typically produced by laser and electron beam welding (see ISO22826 ).
