Only a hard outer surface.
Whatever the piece is less difficult to penetrate.
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.
The hardness of any material is how much it keep it's original shape when put under pressure against another material. Example a drill or cutting tip will have to harder than the material it has to cut, so must maintain it's cutting edge and shape to cut effectively. Hardness is usually measured using a vickers scale, or the old Brinell way which are both a method of testing the hardness of a material.

My company has an old Scleroscope Hardness tester model 8849D made by Shore Instrument and Mfg Co. I would like to find some info on this tester.
Through hardening Process & Polymer quench 20% - As quench Required hardness - 35 - 40 hrc.
To perform a Shore scleroscope hardness test, align the indenter tip perpendicularly to the material surface and release it, allowing it to rebound. Measure the hardness reading indicated on the dial on the device. Repeat this process at various locations on the material to get an average hardness value.
It's the hardness of the material shore a is softer/more elastic. Shore D is harder/stiffer. Then there is a number rating, the higher the number the harder the material.
Shore hardness 60 deg C corresponds to approximately Shore D 75 on the Shore hardness scale.
what is the difference between Shore-A Hardness & Barcol Hardness
To convert Shore A hardness to Newtons, you need to perform a specific calculation using the material's properties. There is no direct conversion between the two; it depends on the specific material being tested and its unique characteristics. It is recommended to consult material data sheets or testing standards to determine the appropriate conversion formula for your material.
No, "shore" is not a unit of hardness used for Teflon. Teflon's hardness is typically measured using the Rockwell or Vickers hardness scale. Shore hardness is more commonly used to measure the hardness of rubber and soft materials.

Yes, a material with a hardness of 8 can scratch a material with a hardness of 7, but not the other way around. Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to scratching, so a material with a higher hardness value can scratch a material with a lower hardness value.
I understand that Asker C is a measurement of hardness for soft rubber. Its also based on a JIS K7312 standard. But How can I compare how this method of measurement correspond to ASTM D2240 Shore A standard ? i.e. If a material is Asker C 30points, how many is it on a Shore A point system?
To convert Asker C hardness to Shore A hardness, you can use a conversion table or formula, as there is no direct mathematical relationship between the two scales. Generally, an approximate conversion is that Asker C hardness values of around 60-70 correspond to Shore A values of approximately 75-90. However, for precise applications, it's best to refer to specific conversion charts or conduct comparative testing, as variations can occur depending on the material.
Oh, dude, converting Barcol hardness to Shore D hardness is like trying to turn a pineapple into a watermelon. You can't just snap your fingers and make it happen. You'll need to consult some conversion tables or equations to make that magic work. Good luck with that, my friend!
shore A is used for flexible material whereas shore B is used for rigid material
