Default Re: Opinions Wanted " No, No, Not Hardness "

In my Opinion the "*" is unsuitable as a hardness test probe.

Hardness testing is performed with a conical probe calibrated for depth of penetration as an indicator of relative hardness to preset standards.

Usually Brinnel Scale.

An object such as an "*" , has no linear or other progressive penetration capability and would be impossible to calibrate.

Sorry to burst this balloon but the answer is elsewhere !
