Hardness test method


There are a variety of testing methods for metal hardness, including:

 

‌ scratch hardness ‌ : Evaluate hardness by comparing scratch lengths of different materials.

 

‌ indentation hardness ‌ : including Brinell hardness (HB), Rockwell hardness (HRC), Vickers hardness (HV), etc., by measuring the size of the indentation to assess the hardness.

 

‌ rebound hardness ‌ : Evaluate hardness by measuring the height of the rebound of the hammer ‌

 

Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages and is suitable for different materials and application scenarios.
