Application of hardness testing in foundry processing operations: A university and industry partnershipThe objectives are the following: (1) to plan a tour of local manufacturing facility to observe hardness testing methods used and how they support the manufacturing process today; (2) to learn the operation of Brinell Hardness Testing and equipment set up with samples of accessory equipment for testing of various materials; (3) to use a Brinell scope (hand magnifier) to measure the diameter of the test indentation (in millimeters); (4) to use the hardness equation to determine the spherical area of the indentation and the calculation of the Brinell Hardness Number; (5) to use standard charts for ASTM standard size indenters to find the hardness number; and (6) to learn a method of conversion of the Brinell number to other hardness scales, their common usage, and also to convert the hardness number to the approximate tensile strength.
