The concept of material hardness is considered, and methods for measuring hardness according to Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers are presented.
We invite you to the free online course "Materials Science in the Oil and Gas Industry". The course provides information on the structure and properties of metals, the basics of alloy theory, the theory of thermal and chemical-thermal treatment. The main methods of producing carbon and alloy steels and cast irons, their classification, marking features, and areas of application are considered. Non-ferrous metals are considered - aluminum, copper, titanium, and nickel. The classification, marking, and areas of application of alloys based on them - brass, bronze, duralumin, silumin, and others are presented. From the course, students will learn about the structure, properties, and areas of application of modern non-metallic materials: polymers, composites, rubbers, and sitalls. The course includes 35 video lectures, notes, 3 virtual labs, tests. The course requires 3 credits (108 hours).
