Brinell test
noun
Definition
- A common hardness test done with a round, very hard steel ball which is pressed into the material being tested. The diameter of the mark left in the steel is measured and a table is used to convert this to a Brinell Hardness Number. The higher the number, the harder the steel. See hardness testing.
