(10 mm Ball, 3000 kg load) Vickers HV (5 kg) Rockwell C HRC (120 degree cone 150 kg) Rockwell B HRB (1/16" ball 100 kg) Leeb HLD [1] 800-72-856 780:
The B and C scales overlap, such that readings below HRC 20 and those above HRB 100, generally considered unreliable, need not be taken or specified. Typical values include: Very hard steel (e.g. chisels, quality knife blades ): HRC 55–66 (Hardened High Speed Carbon and Tool Steels such as M2, W2, O1, CPM-M4, and D2, as well as many of the ...
where: L is the length of indentation along its long axis C p is the correction factor related to the shape of the indenter, ideally 0.070279 P is the load. HK values are typically in the range from 100 to 1000, when specified in the conventional units of kg f ⋅mm −2.
The hardness number can be converted into units of pascals, but should not be confused with pressure, which uses the same units. The hardness number is determined by the load over the surface area of the indentation and not the area normal to the force, and is therefore not pressure.
Force diagram. The Brinell hardness test (pronounced / b r ə ˈ n ɛ l /) measures the indentation hardness of materials. It determines hardness through the scale of penetration of an indenter, loaded on a material test-piece.
The equation based definition of hardness is the pressure applied over the contact area between the indenter and the material being tested. As a result hardness values are typically reported in units of pressure, although this is only a "true" pressure if the indenter and surface interface is perfectly flat. [citation needed]
