Material Properties – Material Hardness

👉 Material Hardness plays critical role in the applications where wear & abrasion are critical.

👉 Hardness is the measure of resistance of the material to wear, abrasion, scratches & indentations.

👉 Hardness is expressed in Brinell (HB), Rockwell (HR) & Vickers hardness (HV).

👉 As Hardness Number increases, material offers more resistance to abrasion and wear.

👉 Examples – Stone crushing machines & mining Equipments need higher hardness.
