Brinell Hardness Unveiled: Indenters, Dwell Time, and HBW

A Science Corner deep dive into the Brinell hardness test. Learn how a tungsten carbide ball indenter, a controlled dwell period, and careful indentation measurements produce the HBW value, how scales like HBW 103000 are reported, and why Brinell shines for inhomogeneous metals. We’ll also touch on ASTM E1015, equipment types A and B, and practical tips for accurate testing.
