The measurement of Meyer hardness and Young's modulus on the Rockwell test machine

David Mackenzie, T P Newcomb

Abstract

A method is described in which the Rockwell hardness machine is used to determine the Meyer hardness and Young's modulus of a material. Meyer hardness values so derived for a number of materials are compared with those obtained from hardness measurements made on a Vickers hardness machine, and values of Young's modulus compared with figures quoted in standard tables.
