Hardness tests are methods used to measure the hardness of a material, which is its resistance to deformation, indentation, or scratching. Hardness is a crucial property in materials science and engineering, as it often correlates with other properties such as strength, wear resistance, and stability. There are several types of hardness tests, each suited for different materials and applications.
