    Indentation and scratch hardness tests are common methods to characterize the mechanical properties of materials. Indentation hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to plastic deformation from a sharp or blunt indenter under an applied load. Scratch hardness similarly characterizes a material's resistance to plastic deformation and damage from a sharp or blunt object dragged across its surface. Both tests provide a simple means to evaluate and compare the strength and wear resistance of materials.
