for Mechanical Engineers Brinell Hardness Calculator Title: I am
hard-headed! Now how hard is my head? Background: Hardness of materials is one of the most used material selection
factors. Hardness is equated with wear
resistance and durability. One of the
hardness tests is called the Brinell hardness
test. In this case, a ball is pushed
into the surface of the material, and an optical measuring device is used to
measure the diameter of the resulting indentation. The diameter of the ball and indentation,
and the applied force is then used calculate the Brinell
hardness number (HB).
