HARDENABILITY<br />

Hardenability is the "ease" with which hardness may be<br />

attained. Hardness is a measure <strong>of</strong> resistance to plastic<br />

deformation.<br />

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HARDNESS AND TENSILE<br />

STRENGTH<br />

For steels, there is a general relationship between Brinell<br />

hardness and tensile strength as follows:<br />

TS (psi) � 500 BHN<br />

TS (MPa) � 3.5 BHN<br />

SV = grain-boundary surface per unit volume,<br />

PL = number <strong>of</strong> points <strong>of</strong> intersection per unit length<br />

between the line and the boundaries,<br />

N = number <strong>of</strong> grains observed in a area <strong>of</strong> 0.0645 mm 2 ,<br />

and<br />

n = grain size (nearest integer > 1).<br />
