Data Source and Methodology
Tutti i calcoli si basano rigorosamente sulle formule e sui dati forniti da Steel Express.
The Formula Explained
\[ \text{Brinell} = \frac{\text{Rockwell} - 25.2}{0.1} \]
\[ \text{Vickers} = \text{Brinell} \times 0.95 \]
Glossary of Variables
- Rockwell: A scale for measuring hardness based on indentation depth.
- Brinell: A hardness scale using a steel ball indenter.
- Vickers: A hardness scale using a diamond pyramid indenter.
How it Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For an input Rockwell hardness of 60, the converted Brinell hardness is calculated using the formula: \(\text{Brinell} = \frac{60 - 25.2}{0.1} = 348\).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is hardness conversion?
Hardness conversion is the process of translating hardness values from one scale to another using empirical correlations.
Why are there different hardness scales?
Different scales are used to accommodate various materials and test conditions, such as load and indenter type.
