  2. Vickers hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test

    As a rule of thumb the sample thickness should be kept greater than 2.5 times the indent diameter. Alternatively indent depth, t {\displaystyle t} , can be calculated according to: t = d a v g 2 2 tan ⁡ θ 2 ≈ d a v g 7.0006 , {\displaystyle t={\frac {d_{\rm {avg}}}{2{\sqrt {2}}\tan {\frac {\theta }{2}}}}\approx {\frac {d_{\rm {avg}}}{7. ...

  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]

  7. Granulation (jewellery) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_(jewellery)

    There are three basic techniques that may be used to attach granules to a metal surface: hard soldering, fusing and colloidal soldering. The metals used in granulation are usually gold and/or silver alloys of high purity – alloys below 18 kt. gold and sterling silver being unsuitable. With each technique, the process begins with the making of ...

  8. Mohs scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale

    Mohs hardness kit, containing one specimen of each mineral on the ten-point hardness scale. The Mohs scale (/ m oʊ z / MOHZ) of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale, from 1 to 10, characterizing scratch resistance of minerals through the ability of harder material to scratch softer material.

  9. Fineness - Wikipedia

    24-karat gold is pure (while 100% purity is very difficult to attain, 24-karat as a designation is permitted in commerce for a minimum of 99.95% purity), 18-karat gold is 18 parts gold, 6 parts another metal (forming an alloy with 75% gold), 12-karat gold is 12 parts gold (12 parts another metal), and so forth.
