There are two main types of hardness testing: indentation and rebound hardness testing. Indentation testing methods include Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, and Knoop testing. Hardness is defined as a material's resistance to permanent deformation. An indenter of known geometry is pressed into the material's surface under a specified load, and the size of the indentation is used to determine the material's hardness. Hardness testing is used to check material specifications and properties.
