True or False: The Rockwell hardness test measures the diameter of an indentation.
Think about which measurement gives a better indication of hardness.
You need to select an aluminum alloy for a structure that will face high wear and tear. Explain how you would determine the required hardness and which tests you might choose.
Consider both the application’s environment and expected stress.
Given two aluminum alloys, one with a Brinell hardness of 60 HB and another with 120 HB, explain the impact this difference in hardness could have on their applications.
Think about the environments where each might be used.
