Crystal defects - hardness
4 important questions on Crystal defects - hardness
Reason hardness measurements are widely used to evaluate mechanical properties of materials
- simple--tests are easy to carry out/evaluate. size of equipment is mall, can sometimes be used directly on structural element
- inexpensive--
- non-destructive---a specimen tested for hardness can be used for other tests
Types of hardness tests
quantitative-comparing hardness to that of a reference material
Quantitative hardness tests
- indent needle with a defined tip on the material surface
- characterize geometry of plastic deformation created
grouped as macro-, micro- and nano-. micro and nano create indentations so small they usually need to be examined with microscopes
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
