Rockwell Hardness (HRC, HRB) to Brinell Hardness (HB or BHN) Conversion Main Casting Products

Hardness is very important for producing rough metal castings, heat treatment and machining process. Stove Burner
Rockwell Hardness (HRC and HRB) and Brinell Hardness (HB or BHN) are most commonly used for steel and Cast Iron Plate
iron castings. Manhole Cover Casting
Brake Drum
Although there is no accurate conversion tables and equations, but dandong foundry recommend the Warping Head Casting
following formulas and comparison tables according to the experience and standards. Ductile Iron Belt Pulley
