These approximate relationships between hardness and tensile strength do not apply to nonferrous metals, with the possible exception of certain aluminum alloys.

This table shows approximate hardness of steel using Brinell, Rockwell B and C and Vickers scales. These conversion charts are provided for guidance only as each scales uses different methods of …

Hardness is a property of solid materials that defines the resistance against penetration by a harder solid body. The Brinell hardness test is commonly used to determine the hardness of materials like metals …

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 …
