The hardness of a material is defined as its resistance to another material penetrating its surface and is related to its wear resistance and strength. Higher hardness is related generally related to ...

• 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 film discusses hardness testing methods in engineering, specifically focusing on the Brunell and Rockwell hardness tests. It explains how hardness is measured through indentation and penetration ...
