FIG . X5. 1 2 Evaluation of a nitrided H 1 3 die using 1 00, 200, 300 and 500 gf test forces with both the Knoop and Vickers indenters. Note
that, as before, the range of HK at each location using these four test loads is broader than the HV range. The HV range is tight, ex
cept at the near surface area. All four HK traces show a drop in hardness at the su rface while the 200 gf HV to 500 gf HV indents show
a similar, but lesser, trend. The dark-etching case ended at -0. 1 4 mm.

nitrided H 1 3 mold. For HV values of 900 and greater, the conversion chart (Table 1 of E 1 40) shows lower HK numbers; while the re
