There are some differences between hardness and hardenability. Hardness is the surface property of material to give resistance to the penetration or plastic deformation and it is measured by one of the tests......Rockwell hardness test,Brinell hardness test and Vicker hardness test.
On the other hand,hardenability is defined as the ability how the material would be hardened and it is measured by Jominy hardenability test.

What scale is used to measure the hardness of steel?
Rockwell hardness
Why hardenability of plain carbon steel is less?
hardness is defined as a resistance to plastic deformation or penatration.Hardness is defined as the ease with which hardness may be attained by quenching . It is also defined as the ability to develop maximum hardness by quenching.It is the process to have a hardened layer of marten site after quenching and also to have high hardness at same given depth. The material which having low critical cooling rate have high hardenability.The factors which reduce critical cooling rate increase the hardenability.alloy steels have low critical temperature. In plain carbon steels are contain not more than .5% of silicon and 1.5% of manganese.These steels are strong,tough,ductile and used in expensive materials.Increase in hardness and strength in plain carbon steel is depend upon the presence of carbon content.
What is the difference between steel and stainless steel?
While stainless steel is an alloy of steel, the primary difference between stainless steel and other steels is that the stainless steels have a high percentage (about 10% or even more) of the element chromium in them.
What is Difference between tata steel and local steel?
Tata steel products are good quality.

What is the difference between Hardness and Harden ability of steel?
ImproveToughness is the ability of steel to absorb energy.Hardness is the ability of steels to withstand wear. Hardness is the ability of material to withstand the indent and is measured in rockwel or vickers. also it is a measure of stiffness of material. but hardenability is ability of material to become hardened by various methods of hardening such as carburising or quenching. it is firmly dependent on quantity of carbon in that material. and actually it doesn't have any measuring unit !

What is the hardness of 1095 steel?
It depends on the heat treatment. 1095 has a high carbon content so it is capable of achieving high hardnesses, but only in thin sections because its low hardenability.
Which of the chemical element has greatest effect on hardenability of steel?
carbon
What the difference between steel and cast iron with reference to their carbon percentage and hardness?
The amount of carbon in iron is greater than 2 percent. Iron, steel is more difficult. Steel is more resistant to damage from iron.
What is the hardness of steel?
The hardness of steel is incomprehensible. It is very hard.
What is the natural hardness of mild steel?
Minimum hardness of Mild steel is about 140 Vickers hardness.
Alloy composition?
(1) Carbon: CRole: increase the hardness of the quenching organization; the formation of carbide, improve wear resistance; reduce toughness; reduce weldability.(2) Chromium: CrRole: improve the hardness of steel, the formation of hard and stable chromium carbide, thus improving wear resistance; can improve the hardenability of steel; when the Cr content of more than 12%, with corrosion resistance, and provide a good throw spin.
What is the hardness of a steel nail on the Mohs scale?
The hardness of a steel nail is about 4.5 (About the same hardness of the mineral Fluorite.)

Is there a test to determine something is stainless steel and not aluminum?
Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel
