    Assignment 1

    Hardness
    Hardness is a measure of the resistance to localized plastic deformation induced by either mechanical
    indentation or abrasion. Some materials (e.g. metals) are harder than others (e.g. plastics, wood).
    Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by strong intermolecular bonds, but the behavior of
    solid materials under force is complex; therefore, there are different measurements of hardness: scratch
    hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness.

    Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity,
    and viscosity.

    Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials,
    which can be contrasted with soft matter.

    There are three types of hardness:

    Scratch Hardness

    Indentation hardness

    Rebound hardness

    Scratch Hardness
    Scratch hardness is the measure of how resistant a sample is to fracture or permanent plastic
    deformation due to friction from a sharp object. The principle is that an object made of a harder
    material will scratch an object made of a softer material. When testing coatings, scratch hardness refers
    to the force necessary to cut through the film to the substrate. The most common test is Mohs scale,
    which is used in mineralogy. One tool to make this measurement is the sclerometer.

    Another tool used to make these tests is the pocket hardness tester. This tool consists of a scale arm
    with graduated markings attached to a four-wheeled carriage. A scratch tool with a sharp rim is
    mounted at a predetermined angle to the testing surface. In order to use it a weight of known mass is
    added to the scale arm at one of the graduated markings, the tool is then drawn across the test surface.
    The use of the weight and markings allows a known pressure to be applied without the need for
    complicated machinery.
