Brinell Hardness in Mechanical Behaviour and Testing Formulas

Brinell Hardness uses a hard, spherical indenter which is forced into the surface of the metal to be tested. And is denoted by HB. Brinell Hardness is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter for Pressure. Note that the value of Brinell Hardness is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Brinell Hardness?

Brinell Hardness uses a hard, spherical indenter which is forced into the surface of the metal to be tested. Brinell Hardness is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter for Pressure. Note that the value of Brinell Hardness is always positive.

Can the Brinell Hardness be negative?

No, the Brinell Hardness, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Brinell Hardness?

Brinell Hardness is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Millimeter[kgf/mm²] for Pressure. Pascal[kgf/mm²], Kilopascal[kgf/mm²], Bar[kgf/mm²] are the few other units in which Brinell Hardness can be measured.
