Uji Kekerasan
Kekerasan/Hardness
Kemampuan bahan untuk menahan deformasi
plastis setempat (localized plastics deformation)
seperti abrasi, goresan, pemotongan
Metallurgy ketahanan terhadap deformasi
Lubrication ketahanan terhadap keausan
Mineral ketahanan terhadap gores
Machine ketahanan untuk dipotong
Kelebihan secara umum :
Relatif tidak mahal, menyebabkan kerusakan yang
kecil
Besaran angka kekerasan adalah relatif (misalnya
dalam pengujian digoreskan intan terhadap baja)
sehingga kekerasan perlu memperhatikan skala

Tips
Generally location of the indenter should be at
least 2 diameter of the indenter from the edge of
the specimen
Thickness of the specimen should be at least 10
times the depth of penetration of the indenter
Successive indentations should be far enough,
so as not to interfere with each other
Surface preparation is not critical for Brinell test,
but important for Rockwell & other hardness test
~Important, because of small size of indentation
