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.
RockwellWhich 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
