Aluminium has a Mohs hardness of 2.75.
There are other hardness scales, such as Vickers and Brinell, and these numbers will differ. Each of these scales has a particular field of application.

What is the approximate hardness of topaz?
the hardness of Topaz is 8 on moes hardness scale
What is silicons hardness?
The hardness is about 6.5 or 7.
Mohs' scale helps scientists to identify the of a mineral?
B. Hardness
Can quartz be scratched by a penny?
No. According to Mohs Hardness Scale, Quartz has a hardness of 7 while copper has a hardness of about 3. The higher number indicates a greater hardness.
What minerals would scratch fluorite - talc quartz or calcite?
Fluorite with a Mohs hardness of 4 would be scratched by quartz (with a hardness of 7). Both calcite (Mohs hardness 3) and talc (Mohs hardness 1) are softer than fluorite.
What is hrc value for aluminium?
Aluminum's hardness is 15 Brinell.
What is aluminium's hardness?
Aluminum oxide, as corundum, defines 9.0 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Would aluminium silicon and phosphorous have the same mass hardness luster or corrosiveness?
luster
What is hard anodising?
Hard anodizing: electrolytic passivization of the metallic surface with the scope to obtain an oxide layer with a hardness greater than the hardness of the metal. Frequently used for aluminium.
What properties applies to aluminum and not iron?
Aluminium is paramagnetic, iron is ferromagnetic Aluminium has a low density, iron is more dense Aluminium is not corroded in water, iron is easily corroded The hardness of aluminium is lower The price of aluminium is greater The melting point of iron is significantly greater The thermal and electrical conductivity of aluminium are more important Iron has a greater chemical reactivity ................................................................... etc.
How can you tell if a drinks can is made from aluminium or steel?
The density, compressive strength and hardness of these materials are very different.
When metals. Mild steel Aluminium are heated between 200 and 900 degrees is the hardness improved or reduced?
heating mild steel to 200c
What is golds hardness?
Gold on the selves is actually an amalgam ( mixture of several metals) so it is mixed with aluminium, iron etc. In theory pure gold is malleable
Why do you make alloys?
Alloy of a metal increases its hardness. Gold becomes hard when copper is mixed in it. Alloy of a metal gives it a different colour. An alloy of copper and aluminium (known as aluminium bronze) has a beautiful golden yellow colour. It is used for interior decoration.
Definition of aluminium?
the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal.
What are the advantages of using aluminium for forging?
The metal is unique because it can be heated to the same temperature as the dies that will form it. The hardness of the dies is also lower than dies used for forging steel.
What elements can be described by hardness shininess and ductility?
Metallic elements that are shiny and ductile would include aluminium, silver, and gold. [Lead is ductile, but not shiny. Chromium is shiny, but not ductile.]
