Answer Rockwell C is a method to measure the hardness of a metal object. The hardness of the metal is a direct correlation to its strength properties: i.e., Tensile Strength. The scales can be found in any engineering or matierals reference books. A test devise is used to strick a metal object with a small pointed hammer. The size of the dimple is compared to a chart to give you the Rockwell C hardness value. There are 3 charts for measuring hardness: A scale, B scale and Cscale. Rockwell C is for the hardest of metals such as very high strength steel. Rockwell A is for much softer materials including something as soft as clay, I believe. During manufacture, a hardness test will be performed to ensure that the finished product meets the design engineer's criteria to ensure the part.

How hard is a diamond in Rockwell Scale c?

Diamond is more than 1000 times harder than quartz, which is in the 80 range in the Rockwell C. Diamond cannot be measured on the Rockwell C scale. A diamond pyramid is actually used in the Rockwell C test, which would be inconclusive.

How do you convert shore scale c to Rockwell scale c?

To convert Shore scale C to Rockwell scale C, there is no direct formula as they measure hardness differently. Shore scale C measures indentation hardness while Rockwell scale C measures depth of penetration. These two scales cannot be directly converted into one another.

When reading the steel heat treatment notation RC what does the R mean?

RC stands for Rockwell Hardness C scale; the different letters A,B,C etc. are based on different loads and indenters for measurement. C scale is typical for steels, while B scale is typical for aluminum. There are conversion tables for these if needed.

What is the Hardness Rockwell C scale?

This is a method used to determine the hardness of a metal. If you know the type of metal and the hardness, this will tell you the Tensile Strength of the metal and how well it was heat treated. The method uses a ball or a pin to strick the metal and leave a small indention. The size and depth that the ball makes in the metal is inversely proportional to the hardness. Using the scale, you can then determine if the part has completed the proper heat treatment as required by the Engineering drawing. There are 3 Rockwell scales: A, B, C. Rockwell C scale is for the hardest of metals such as steel. Rockwell B is for metal such as soft aluminum and A is for even softer metals.

How do you convert Rockwell b scale to c scale?

You dont. Minimum C is about maximum B. And the indentation is different. Even if you could convert it, the results would not be accurate.
