HBS compared with HBW
[edit]What hardness is HBS good up to ? How does that relate to the hardness of the ball used ? Do HBS and HBW match for softer materials ? up to what HBW ? Rod57 (talk) 13:06, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Could article say what variation in hardness might be calculated using different forces and indenter diameters ? Rod57 (talk) 13:06, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
What is BHN?
[edit]Somebody missed to add all the explanations for the formula.
Please add them.

Dimensionless?
[edit]Why is this article classified in the category of Dimensionless numbers? Is not Brinell hardness a quantity that has the dimension of pressure? Doesn't it follow from the definitions in this article that the unit of BHN, as defined here, is kgf/mm² (in gravitational metric system), and that the unit of HBW is N/mm², which is the same as one megapascal (in SI units)? Both are units of pressure. -FKLS Maybe it is customary to omit its units, but these are what the numbers really mean. (talk) 07:08, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

This is unacceptable, and it is copied word for word.75.159.163.218 (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
The standards referenced
[edit]The standards referenced need to be updated, as new the ones referenced were withdrawn and replaced by a newer version on 2014. Additionally, the pages linked to the standards are wrong. I tried following the standard EN ISO 6506-1:2005: Metallic materials – Brinell hardness test – Part 1: test method and it was linked to a Vickers (NOT Brinell) standard (also withdrawn) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.136.68.68 (talk) 10:56, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Non-Destructive - Clarification
[edit]I made an account because I saw something I could help clarify. The advantages section has a confusing tag at the top.
Brinell Testing is seen as non-destructive since it minimally damages the part in question, and it does not impair the function, compared to endurance testing, which usually breaks the part entirely.
