  1. The Rockwell hardness test uses a simple mechanical load application, while the Vickers hardness test uses an optical measurement method. The Rockwell hardness test is the most common type of hardness testing method because it is easier to perform and more accurate than other methods.

  2. Vickers hardness test is a micro testing method used for some specified cases. Sometimes it becomes necessary to change the hardness value from one scale to another. Here we compare the Vickers hardness method with the Rockwell method and their conversion charts.

  3. This table shows approximate hardness of steel using Brinell, Rockwell B and C and Vickers scales. These conversion charts are provided for guidance only as each scales uses different methods of measuring hardness. The right hand column show an approximate equivalent tensile strength.

  4. This article will first introduce the working principles, advantages, and limitations of the Rockwell and Vickers hardness tests, respectively. Next, we will focus on the in-depth discussion of the differences between each testing method.

  5. While several variants of hardness testing methods are available to hardness inspectors in the industry today, the Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers hardness tests remain the three most popular ones. The most suitable one to apply for any hardness testing will depend on the environmental condition.

  6. A variety of hardness-testing methods are available, including the Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Meyer and Leeb tests. Although it is impossible in many cases to give an exact conversion, it is possible to give an approximate material-specific comparison table for steels.

  8. Hardness is not a material property, rather a value ascribed to a material as a result of empirical testing. There are six main hardness tests that can be carried out: Vickers, Rockwell, Brinell, Mohs, Shore and Knoop. Which one to apply depends on the type of material to be tested and the equipment available.
