Abstract

Hardness conversions are empirical relationships defined by conversion tables limited to specific categories of materials. This article is a collection of tables that present approximate Rockwell B hardness conversion numbers for nonaustenitic steels as per ASTM E 140 and approximate equivalent hardness numbers for the Brinell hardness and the Vickers (diamond pyramid) hardness numbers for steel.

Topics
Creep testing, Fatigue testing, Impact toughness testing, Hardness testing, High strain rate shear testing, Residual stress analysis, Tensile testing, Wear testing, Steel, Hardness, Brinell hardness, Rockwell hardness, Vickers hardness
