This test is the ability of one mineral to be scratched by another mineral and this is usually not done in conversion of mohs scale to brinell scale.
HB = 2P/(pi)D[D-(D2-d2)^1/2]
P is load applied
D is the indenter size
d is the indent size on sample
According to wikipedia its Mohs hardness is 2.0 and it Brinell hardness is 203 MPa. Compare with aluminum for which the figures are 2.75 and 245 respectively.
The hardness of rhenium is 7.0 on the Mohs scale. It has a hardness of 2450 MPa on the Vickers scale and 1320 MPa on the Brinell scale.
Due to the size of the indenter and the impression, the Brinell system is more indicative of the bulk material hardness compared to other techniques which test over a much smaller area and may in fact be measuring impurities or inclusions.Other hardness tests rely on a set load being applied to a metal, or a standard-sized object being pressed into the metal, which means the more fragile metals cannot be tested for hardness. Because the Brinell test allows for accurate hardness testing while allowing both the load and the size of the ball being pressed into the metal to vary, more delicate metals can be tested than with other hardness tests.The results of the Brinell are considered force-independent because the force can be adjusted for metals of different sizes or strengths and the results will not be affected. This is because a sphere distributes pressure evenly along its surface, and points and cones do not. Therefore, as long as the relationship between the load and the size of the carbide ball used remains constant, the results of the test will accurately measure the hardness of the material tested.
Hardness of uranium metal: Mohs hardness: 6 Brinell hardness: 2 400MN/m2 Vickers hardness: 1 960 MN/m2 Uranium is very hard and also very dense (19,05 g/cm3). Depleted uranium is used for artillery shells (also for tanks armour) to give it Armour piercing capability.
When chain reacting uranium, other elements are formed, some are heavier and others are lighter. As these elements decay due to radioactivity, some certain chemicals change into plut. But only a very small amount is made.
The unit of Brinell Hardness Number is same as that for stress.
hardness as it is measured on a rockwell or brinell testing instrument
Determining the hardness of materials is the purpose of a Brinell scale. The Brinell scale is one of several items used in the definition of hardness in materials science.
Mohs hardness: 6 Brinell hardness: 196 MPa.
The Brinell hardness test is a standardized test in material science. It measures the hardness of a metal by measuring the indentation on the material caused by an indenter.
Both are two different scales of hardness measurement.
The Brinell hardness tester was invented to measure the hardness of materials using an indentation. Applied force is measured against the force, diameter of indentation and indenter.
The Brinell hardness of plutonium is 242, the Vickers hardness is 255.
In the common Mohs hardness scale used in geology, 10 is the maximum number, the hardness of diamond. There are several other hardness scales such as Vickers, and Brinell; but these have specialist engineering (not geologic) applications. In brief, Brinell 28 would be rather soft - about that of copper. In Vickers, this number would represent something even softer - around that of gold.
Ultimate Tensile Strength is the (BHN*500)
On the moh's hardness scale: 3-4
I don't found the Mohs hardness of plutonium but: - the Brinell hardness is 242 at r.m. - the Vickers hardness is 255 at r.m. After a hardness conversion chart an equivalent Mohs hardness may be 3,7.
