  2. Hardness comparison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness_comparison

    A variety of hardness-testing methods are available, including the Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Meyer and Leeb tests. Although it is impossible in many cases to give an exact conversion, it is possible to give an approximate material-specific comparison table for steels .

  3. Rockwell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_scale

    A Rockwell hardness tester. The Rockwell scale is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness of a material. The Rockwell test measures the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load (major load) compared to the penetration made by a preload (minor load). [1]

  5. Vickers hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test

    The unit of hardness given by the test is known as the Vickers Pyramid Number (HV) or Diamond Pyramid Hardness (DPH). The hardness number can be converted into units of pascals, but should not be confused with pressure, which uses the same units. The hardness number is determined by the load over the surface area of the indentation and not the ...

  6. Brinell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinell_scale

    The Brinell hardness is designated by the most commonly used test standards (ASTM E10-14 [2] and ISO 6506–1:2005) as HBW (H from hardness, B from brinell and W from the material of the indenter, tungsten (wolfram) carbide). In former standards HB or HBS were used to refer to measurements made with steel indenters.

  7. Leeb rebound hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeb_rebound_hardness_test

    A test takes a mere 2 seconds and, using the standard probe D, leaves an indentation of just ~0.5 mm in diameter on steel or steel casting with a Leeb hardness of 600 HLD. By comparison, a Brinell indentation on the same material is ~3 mm (hardness value ~400 HBW 10/3000), with a standard-compliant measuring time of ~15 seconds plus the time ...

  8. Equivalent carbon content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_carbon_content

    In welding, equivalent carbon content (C.E) is used to understand how the different alloying elements affect hardness of the steel being welded. This is then directly related to hydrogen-induced cold cracking, which is the most common weld defect for steel, thus it is most commonly used to determine weldability.

  9. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    When testing coatings, scratch hardness refers to the force necessary to cut through the film to the substrate. The most common test is Mohs scale, which is used in mineralogy. One tool to make this measurement is the sclerometer. Another tool used to make these tests is the pocket hardness tester. This tool consists of a scale arm with ...
