  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 .

  4. 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. Shore durometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer

    ASTM D2240 durometers allow for a measurement of the initial hardness, or the indentation hardness after a given period of time. The basic test requires applying the force in a consistent manner, without shock, and measuring the hardness (depth of the indentation). If a timed hardness is desired, force is applied for the required time and then ...

  9. Equivalent carbon content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_carbon_content

    Each of these elements tends to influence the hardness and weldability of the steel to different magnitudes, however, making a method of comparison necessary to judge the difference in hardness between two alloys made of different alloying elements. [1] [2] There are two commonly used formulas for calculating the equivalent carbon content.
