This book is an attempt to explain hardness measurements of metals in terms of some of their more basic physical properties. The intention is to provide, for physicists, engineers, and metallurgists, a better understanding of what hardness means and what hardness measurements imply. The author emphasises the physical concepts involved, so that non-mathematical readers can grasp and appreciate the general physical picture without needing to follow the more detailed mathematical treatment.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of hardness testing, including the various methods and equipment used, testing applications and the selection of testing methods. The revised and updated second edition features expanded information on microhardness testing, specialized hardness tests, and hardness testing standards. Contents: Introduction to Hardness Testing Brinell Testing Rockwell Hardness Testing Vickers Hardness Testing Microhardness Testing Scelroscope and Leeb Hardness Testing Hardness Testing Application Selection of Hardness Testing Materials Appendices Index.
The mechanical properties of minerals constitute a sparsely investigated field of study compared with other areas of mineral physics. The minerals for which all crystallomechanical parameters are known are few, and until now it has not been possible to state unequivocally whether one mechanical property alone could be adequately used in defining most minerals. For this reason, it is essential that the mechanical properties and deformations of minerals be investigated, treating mineral crystallomechanics as a section of mineralogy equal in importance to crystallo-optics and crystallochemistry, for example. This book provides a survey of hardness test methods in current worldwide use, and includes examples indicating the merits and deficiencies of these methods. The ample references included in the text are given particularly to enable the reader to broaden his knowledge in a given field. The tables found at the end of the book, as well as the hardness tests results from various methods included in the text itself, are meant to serve as a rough guide in the choice of appropriate test method, whilst simultaneously providing the reader with reference details.
As the utilization of ceramic materials is developing at a great pace, so too is the science of ceramics improving the understanding we have about these high-technology materials. New and improved ways of examining and investigating monolithic ceramics and ceramic composites are also being developed and reported at a great pace in a wide-ranging area of the scientific and technical literature. This book has been written with the aim of increas ing the awareness of the general materials worker of developments in modern ceramics and of bringing to a focus how much the study of their hardness can contribute to our understanding of them and lead to technical data that can be of considerable use ...
