What is Hardness

It determines how resistant a material is to deformation, scratching, or penetration by other materials

What is Brinell Hardness?

The Brinell hardness test involves indenting the surface of a material with a spherical indenter and measuring the diameter of the resulting indentation.

What is Rockwell  Hardness?

The Rockwell hardness test involves indenting the surface of a material with a diamond cone or steel ball indenter and measuring the depth of the resulting indentation.

Rockwell Which test is more Reliable between hardness and Brinell Hardness?

Answer is 

Rockwell Hardness testing

Rockwell hardness test and Brinell What is the difference between Hardness test?

1. The Brinell hardness test uses a 10 mm hardened steel ball.

Whereas the Rockwell test uses either a very small steel ball (<4 mm) or a diamond cone depending on the material being tested.

2.Rockwell test measures the depth of indentation, while Brinell test measures the width of indentation
