Hardness is very important for producing rough metal castings, heat treatment and machining process.
Stove Burner
Rockwell Hardness (HRC and HRB) and Brinell Hardness (HB or BHN) are most commonly used for steel
Although there is no accurate conversion tables and equations, but we can recommend the following
Brake Drum
From 21 to 30
From 31 to 40
From 41 to 50
From 51 to 60
Tractor Gearbox
Pump Body
Gear Casting
Large Cast Steel Bracket
From 55 to 69
From 70 to 79
From 80 to 89
From 90 to 100
The following two conversion tables come from standard ASTM A 370. Table A is the comparison
between Rockwell C Hardness, Brinell Hardness, Vickers Hardness and tensile strength (Rm). Table B is
the comparison between HRB, BH, HV and Rm.
