  3. Mohs scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale

    Mohs hardness kit, containing one specimen of each mineral on the ten-point hardness scale. The Mohs scale (/ m oʊ z / MOHZ) of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale, from 1 to 10, characterizing scratch resistance of minerals through the ability of harder material to scratch softer material.

  4. Chrysocolla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysocolla

    Chrysocolla has a cyan (blue-green) color and is a minor ore of copper, having a hardness of 2.5 to 7.0. It is of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies. Associated minerals are quartz, limonite, azurite, malachite, cuprite, and other secondary copper minerals.

  6. Scratch hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_hardness

    [3] [4] The Mohs scale is based on relative scratch hardness of different materials; with talc assigned a value of 1 and diamond assigned a value of 10. [5] Mohs's scale had two limitations: it was not linear, and most modern abrasives fall between 9 and 10.; [6] [7] so, later scientists attempted to increase resolution at the harder end of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcopyrite

    Chalcopyrite (/ ˌ k æ l k ə ˈ p aɪ ˌ r aɪ t,-k oʊ-/ [7] [8] KAL-kə-PY-ryte, -⁠koh-) is a copper iron sulfide mineral and the most abundant copper ore mineral. It has the chemical formula CuFeS 2 and crystallizes in the tetragonal system.

  8. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    When testing coatings, scratch hardness refers to the force necessary to cut through the film to the substrate. The most common test is Mohs scale, which is used in mineralogy. One tool to make this measurement is the sclerometer. Another tool used to make these tests is the pocket hardness tester. This tool consists of a scale arm with ...

  9. Hardness comparison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness_comparison

    A variety of hardness-testing methods are available, including the Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Meyer and Leeb tests. Although it is impossible in many cases to give an exact conversion, it is possible to give an approximate material-specific comparison table for steels .
