Notes on Hardness Tests: The Conversion of Tests obtained by one Method to Another Apt to be Misleading

Abstract

HARDNESS tests on structural materials are usually taken to indicate quickly and cheaply the probable tensile strength; or used in conjunction with tensile tests, when tensiles are taken on the maximum and minimum limits as revealed by the hardness tests.
