Hardness
Hardness Measure of resistance to localized plastic deformation Simple, non-destructive, not a well-defined material property 1. Scratch hardness: Mohs scale, 2. Indentation hardness: Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, Shore 3. Rebound (Dynamic) hardness: Leeb, scleroscope Larger hardness: smaller indent resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in compression better wear properties most plastics brasses Al alloys easy to machine steels file hard cutting tools nitrided steels diamond increasing hardness
Indentation Hardness
Brinell Hardness (HB) D=10 mm hardened steel Keep at least 3 indentation diameters away from the edge or previous mark Hardness can be related to tensile strength For steel: TS (MPa) = 3.45 HB 10 mm sphere F= 10,000 N measure size of indent after removing load D d Smaller indents mean larger hardness.

Stress-Strain Behaviors of Polymers brittle polymer Tensile strength of polymer ca. 10% that of metals elastic modulus less than metal Plastic polymer elastomer Strains deformations > 1000% possible (for metals, maximum strain ca. 10% or less)
Dislocation Motion Dislocations & plastic deformation Cubic & hexagonal metals - plastic deformation by plastic shear or slip where one plane of atoms slides over adjacent plane by defect motion (dislocations). If dislocations don't move, deformation doesn't occur! Adapted from Fig. 7.1, Callister 7e. 37
