Talk:Indentation hardness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a number of books on the subject of hardness testing of various materials. There are also a number of standard test methods for hardness testing, including ASTM standards. These standards provide information about accuracy and errors in the testing.

Hardness tests are used for a wide variety of materials, ranging from metals to rubber.

Portable hardness test methods exist for metals.

[edit] no Berkovich hardness/indenter?

Why is there no Berkovich hardness test, with a triangular indenter, on Wikipedia? Many sites say it's the most popular nanoindentation tip. -lysdexia 22:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
