Experiment: Mechanical Testing- Impact & Hardness Testing
There are two common methods applied to measure material hardness macroscopically: Rockwell and Brinell. Rockwell hardness differs from Brinell hardness testing in that the indentation size is measured in Brinell testing while Rockwell hardness is determined by the depth of the indentation made by a constant applied load. For thin test samples or samples for which the relatively large Brinell or …
