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.

How hard is 28 on the hardness scale?

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.


What is the Brinell hardness test used for?

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.

What is a Brinell hardness tester used for?

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.

How hard is silver on the Mohs scale?

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.


How do you calculate Brinell hardness number?

Brinell hardness number is calculated by dividing the applied load in kilograms by the surface area of the resulting indentation in square millimeters. The formula is expressed as: ( \text{Brinell Hardness Number (BHN)} = \frac{\text{Applied Load (kg)}}{\pi \times \text{Indentation Diameter (mm)} \times (\text{Diameter of Ball (mm) - Indentation Diameter (mm)})} ).
