• Engineers can use hardness testing to verify the composition or heat-treatment history of materials. • Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and Shore are common hardness tests. Their use depends on the ...
This class presents a description of each hardness testing method, along with discussions on how to choose and perform a test, how to read hardness ratings, and how to prevent common errors. Hardness ...
A material’s hardness relates to its mechanical resistance when subjected to mechanical indentation by another harder body. Diamond is considered the hardest natural material and is typically used for ...
