There are various types of oak that vary in hardness but oak is a hardwood.
Hardness of ductile materials can be determined by following methods..... 1) Brinell Hardness Test 2)Vickers Hardness Test 3)Rockwell Hardness Test 4) Scratch hardness test
Beech is nearer to oak in hardness and color.
White Oak is 1360 Northern Red Oak is 1290
In Vickers hardness test the for used is much lighter than the force used in Rockwell hardness test, The Rockwell hardness test is the considered to be the most routinely used technique to measure the hardness of materials because of its simplicity and because it does not require specific skills in order to perform it.
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.
European Oak in many ways in similar on the Janka scale as Ameriacan Oak at 1360.
The initial load in Rockwell hardness test is 10KGf.
The Moh's scale is used to test the hardness of a mineral. It will be tested by a fingernail scratching it.
plan a fair test with timing......... bash each rock with a hammer and see which one breaks first
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.
