Vickers hardness test — A Vickers hardness tester The Vickers hardness test was developed in 1924 by Smith and Sandland at Vickers Ltd as an alternative to the Brinell method to measure the hardness of materials.[1] The Vickers test is often easier to use than other… … Wikipedia
Hardness — This article is about mechanical properties of materials. For other uses, see Hard. Hardness is the measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied. Macroscopic hardness is generally… … Wikipedia
Hardness comparison — There are a large number of hardness testing methods available (eg. Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell). Although it is impossible in many cases to give an exact conversion it is possible to give a comparison table. Hardness Comparison Table See also… … Wikipedia
hardness — a measure of the hardness of a metal or mineral. Hardness is a property easy to appreciate but difficult to quantify and measure. The Mohs hardness scale is used in geology to give a rough estimate of hardness by testing which minerals are… … Dictionary of units of measurement
Indentation hardness — tests are used to determine the hardness of a material to deformation. Several such tests exist, wherein the examined material is indented until an impression is formed; these tests can be performed on a macroscopic or microscopic scale. When… … Wikipedia
Barcol hardness test — The Barcol hardness test characterizes the indentation hardness of materials through the depth of penetration of an indentor, loaded on a material sample and compared to the penetration in a reference material. The method is most often used for… … Wikipedia
Meyer hardness test — This graph shows the differences between the Brinell hardness test and the Meyer hardness test. Notice that the Brinell test can report the same hardness value for a given specimen twice depending on the load. The Meyer hardness test is a rarely… … Wikipedia
Mohs hardness — Rough measure of the resistance of a smooth surface to scratching or abrasion, expressed in terms of a scale devised by German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1812. Minerals are ranked in comparison with the Mohs scale, which is made up of 10… … Universalium
Knoop hardness test — The Knoop hardness test is a microhardness test a test for mechanical hardness used particularly for very brittle materials or thin sheets, where only a small indentation may be made for testing purposes. A pyramidal diamond point is pressed into … Wikipedia
Rockwell hardness — (RH ) a measure of the hardness of a metal introduced by Rockwell in 1922. In a Rockwell hardness test, a penetrator makes an indentation in the metal under two constant loads, a minor load (generally 10 kilograms) and then a major load. The… … Dictionary of units of measurement
Knoop hardness — ▪ mineralogy a measure of the hardness of a material, calculated by measuring the indentation produced by a diamond tip that is pressed onto the surface of a sample. The test was devised in 1939 by F. Knoop and colleagues at the National… … Universalium
