Abstract

The thrust measured during a drilling test is related to the hardness of the material tested. When the test is performed on a superficially heat-treated specimen, the results do not exactly correspond to the hardness profile obtained by the Vickers micro hardness technique. The difference is due to the integration of heterogeneous resistance along the cutting edge of the conic drill. By discretising the drilled thickness, we have developed an algorithm yielding the hardness of each elemental thickness. Results are very close to those obtained by Vickers hardness profile measurements.
