NOTE 3- The hardness values are RockwellB scale as measured or
converted from the appropriateRockwellscales.
NOTE 4- The typical hardnessvalues apply to the full range of steel
sheet thickness.Hardness tends to increase as the steel sheet thickness
decreases.
NOTE 5-Hardness testing is commonly used to assess the relative
formabilityof variousdesignationsof uncoatedsteel sheet. This assess-
