Dear Students

Answer the following questions.


1- List three most commonly used Hardens testing machines.


2- Explain the the test conditions for each one of the Brinell Hardness Numbers below:



  • 120 HBS 10/3000/15

  • 1800 HBW 10/3000/30

3- Calculate the Brinle hardness number for a steel specimen if the indentation diameter is 5.5 mm, indenter diameter is 12 mm, and the load is 50 KN. Write the full quote of the Brinell Hardness number.

    120 HBS 10/3000/15

    indicates that a hardness number of 120 BHN was calculated using a 10mm

    1800 HBW 10/3000/30

    indicates that a hardness number og 1800 BHN
    was calculated using 10mm diameter
