A simple uniaxial test or compression test does not always provide adequate information. Instead, when a sample is tested against bends and flexes, it experiences an intricate amalgamation of forces like tension, shear, and compression. The testing equipment simulates a loading condition that is similar to real-life. Our engineers rely on this test to study the material’s behavior and accordingly, look for alternatives to resolve the shortcomings in consistency which get highlighted through the test.

Hardness is often considered to be a physical property of steel. However, what most people don’t know, is that hardness is a characteristic. It has been defined as the resistance to indentation. It is especially considered for materials like steel and its alloys.

Just like the Brinell Hardness Test, the Rockwell Hardness test, too, implements the indentation manner of testing. The difference between the two tests lies in the higher accuracy and versatility of the Rockwell Hardness test. The ASTM E-18 standard has defined this test and it is the most common method of hardness testing.
