•Mechanical properties are obtained by mechanical
testing.
•Mechanical testing is used for developing design data,
maintaining quality control, assisting in alloy development
programs and providing data in failure analysis.

Ductility
The Rockwell hardness test uses two loads that are applied
sequentially.
A minor load of 10 kg is applied that helps seat the indenter
and remove the effect of surface irregularities.
A major load which varies from 60 kg to 150 kg is then
applied.
The difference in depth of indentation between the major
and minor loads provides the Rockwell hardness number.
This number is taken directly from the dial on the machine.
