Measurement of Hardness
Rockwell Hardness
• Several scales—combination of load magnitude, indenter size
• Examples:
– Rockwell A Scale – 60 kg load/diamond indenter
– Superficial Rockwell 15T Scale – 15 kg load/ 1/16 in. indenter
• Rockwell hardness designation: (hardness reading) HR
• Examples: 57 HRA; 63 HR15T
• Hardness range for each scale: 0130 HR;
useful range: 20100 HR

Measurement of Hardness (cont.)
Brinell Hardness
• Single scale
• Brinell hardness designation: (hardness
reading) HB
– P = load (kg)
– 500 kg P 3000 kg (500 kg increments)
• Relationships—Brinell hardness & tensile strength
– TS (psia) = 500 x HB
– TS (MPa) = 3.45 x HB

values for same material
• Statistical treatments
• Typical value—take average value, for some
parameter x:

n = number of measurements x= i=1

Design/Safety Factors
• Because of design uncertainties allowances must
be made to protect against unanticipated failure
• For structural applications, to protect against possibility
of failure—use working stress, σw, and a
factor of safety, N

Depending on application,
N is between 1.2 and 4

a steel that has a yield strength of 310 MPa, is to withstand
a load of 220,000 N without yielding. Assuming a value of 4
