On the Mohs hardness scale glass is harder than steel. Mohs hardness tests the ability of one material to scratch another. Steel is rated 4 to 4.5 and glass is rated at 6 to 7.

Glass is harder than steel, but it is more fragile and will break much easier. There are many different ways to measure strength. Here is a wikipedia article about the strength of materials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials
Yes, diamonds are much harder than glass. Diamonds score a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while glass typically scores around 5.5. This means diamonds are more resistant to scratching and are considered one of the hardest known substances.
Iron typically heats up faster than glass because iron has higher thermal conductivity. This means that heat transfers more quickly through iron than through glass, allowing iron to reach higher temperatures faster. Glass, on the other hand, has lower thermal conductivity and heats up more slowly.
No, Prince Rupert's drop is not harder than diamond. Diamond is one of the hardest known natural materials, while Prince Rupert's drop is a glass object that is not as hard as diamond.
Your answer depends on the composition of the 'fake diamond' and the composition of glass. Each mineral has a rating on the Mohs Scale of hardness. The harder mineral will scratch the softer mineral.
The glass appears green due to the presence of iron impurities in the glass material, which absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect green light, giving the glass a green hue.
Glass is the odd one out because it is not a metal, unlike steel, iron, and tin.
the harder one
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5
Not at all i had one not hard at all.
The Mohs scale rates the relative hardness of minerals on a scale from 1 to 10. Glass typically falls between a 5 and 6 on the Mohs scale, while iron is harder and falls between a 4 and 5.
Cast iron holds heat longer compared to glass, copper, stainless steel.
iron is harder to defeeted
One method to separate iron and powdered glass is by using a magnet. The iron particles can be attracted to the magnet, allowing them to be collected while the powdered glass remains behind. Alternatively, the mixture can be subjected to a process called sieving where the powdered glass and iron can be separated based on their particle sizes.
Diamond is harder than iron. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral and can scratch iron.
Cast Iron is less likely to break than glass and provides a better cooking surface
Yes, Absolutely......... Gold is softer than Iron... Gold becomes Harder because of other components that is being added like Silver and Copper. They add these components to add strength into the Jeweleries.
an iron bar is harder to bend.
