The Rockwell scale is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness of a material. The Rockwell test determines the hardness by measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load compared to the penetration made by a preload. There are different scales, denoted by a single letter, that use different loads or indenters. The result is a dimensionless number noted as HRA, HRB, HRC, etc., where the last letter is the respective Rockwell scale (see below).
When testing metals, indentation hardness correlates linearly with tensile strength. This important relation permits economically important nondestructive testing of bulk metal deliveries with lightweight, even portable equipment, such as hand-held Rockwell hardness testers.
The differential depth hardness measurement was conceived in 1908 by a Viennese professor Paul Ludwik in his book Die Kegelprobe (crudely, "the cone test"). The differential-depth method subtracted out the errors associated with the mechanical imperfections of the system, such as backlash and surface imperfections. The Brinell hardness test, invented in Sweden, was developed earlier – in 1900 – but it was slow, not useful on fully hardened steel, and left too large an impression to be considered nondestructive.

What happens to your knife before it arrives at your door? Brad Stallsmith joins Dan and LT at Blind Horse Knives for the first episode in a series all about the process called heat treating. In this episode, we'll tell you what what the Rockwell scale is and how to make sure you have the right hardness to your knife.
With so many variations on High Speed steel, understanding tool quality can be confusing. Sam has provided some simple detailed information on the Rockwell Hardness scale. Measuring the hardness in tool steel is information that helps woodworkers and woodturners decide which tool to purchase.

This video will show you how to use the Rockwell hardness tester with both the B and C scales.
Finite element analysis (FEA) of a B Scale Rockwell hardness test. This model was created using Abaqus CAE (6.8-3) for pre/post-processing and solved using the Abaqus Standard solver. The model could have been (and was) solved much more efficiently by utilizing the axisymmetric nature of the problem, but this model was later used to study the effect of residual stress on hardness measurements. To do this uniaxial tensile/compressive loads were applied to the test sample, and for this reason the model only had two planes of symmetry that could be utilized. The hardness value obtained from the finite element model was found to agree well with the experimentally obtained hardness value.
When working on older firearms, it is important to check the hardness of the metal to insure the heat treatment of the metal has not been compromised. In this GunTec presentation Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, uses a Rockwell hardness tester to test the hardness of a Mauser 98 bolt and receiver. The process is quick and easy, requiring only that one zero the machine, place the item to be tested on the work piece support, engage the penetrator, and check the reading. The results of the test are given using the Rockwell C scale. By checking a bolt or receiver after performing work on them, you can be sure the parts are safe to use.

Greetings good people! It has been a long time since I posted a video, been really busy, sorry for that. Anyway in this video I am forging this straight razor or knife, whatever you want to call it, from a leaf spring from a Chevy van in my homemade forge. Hardened and but didn't temper it because I am not sure how hard it got but it is very sharp and can hold a hair shaving edge so I assume it is in the 50's on the rockwell scale. It turned out really great, love the rustic medieval look. If you enjoyed this video please leave a like, comment and share with your friends! Maybe I put this in my etsy shop if anyone would want to buy one. Etsy store : https://www.etsy.com/shop/GomersWorkshop?ref=l2-shopheader-name Music by: Bausic Productions

After hardening block of steel and mounting it on a base this is me testing it's rebound. Is almost as good as my anvil brand farriers anvil. This block is harder than the anvil brand anvil, though I dont have a way of thesting it to the rockwell scale. Thanks for watching

This session was live-streamed at the 2013 Web Conference at Penn State. Presented by: Kris Rockwell Play the Election was a web-based platform developed by ImpactGames in partnership with Rand McNally intended to educate secondary school students about the history and workings of the US Presidential election process. Based on the award winning Play the New platform, Play the Election was comprised of a total of eleven casual form games released in time with major events within the 2012 election campaigns that gave students a deeper understanding of the issues and allowing the to predict the outcome and give their opinions as to what would occur. Developed and deployed in a four and a half month period, Play the Election functioned on a variety of platforms including tablets. This presenta...
