Hardness converters translate between different material hardness scales: Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Shore, and others.

Trin-for-trin guide

  1. 1Rockwell: A, B, C scales (different indenters, loads)
  2. 2Brinell: BHN (ball indenter), larger impression
  3. 3Vickers: Very hard materials, diamond indenter, small load

Løste eksempler

Input
Steel 50 HRC (Rockwell C)
Resultat
Approximately 475 HV (Vickers), 450 HB (Brinell)
Approximate conversions

Almindelige fejl at undgå

  • Treating conversions as exact (they're approximations)
  • Using wrong scale for material (Rockwell inappropriate for very soft/hard materials)

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Which hardness scale is most reliable?

Vickers most precise for hard materials, Brinell for softer. Different scales measure different things.

Does hardness relate to tensile strength?

Generally yes, but not directly. Hardness and strength both measure resistance to deformation differently.
