Introduction to Brinell Hardness

Brinell hardness is a standard that indicates the hardness of a material. Measured by Brinell hardness tester. It was first proposed by the Swede J.A. Brinell, thus called Brinell hardness. Press a hardened steel ball with a diameter of D into the surface of the metal material to be tested with a certain load P. […]
