Kõvadusväärtus
Kõvadusväärtus refers to a measurement of a material's resistance to permanent deformation, typically indentation or scratching. This property is crucial in material science and engineering for selecting appropriate materials for various applications. Different hardness scales exist, each employing specific testing methods and indenters, resulting in varying numerical values for the same material. Common scales include Mohs, Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers.
The Mohs scale, primarily used for minerals, ranks materials based on their ability to scratch one another,
The kõvadusväärtus is influenced by factors such as the material's composition, microstructure, and heat treatment. It
