Research has shown that additional training has a positive impact on a person’s employment opportunities. Acquiring new skills and competencies can extend options for professional advancement and offer additional career choices. There are also indications that VET may contribute to reducing unemployment and protect people from becoming unemployed in the first place.
Rockwell Hardness (HRC, HRB) to Brinell Hardness (HB or BHN) Conversion
Hardness is very important for producing rough metal castings, heat
treatment and machining process. Rockwell Hardness (HRC and HRB) and
Brinell Hardness (HB or BHN) are most commonly used for steel and
iron castings.
Although there is no accurate conversion tables and equations, but
dandong foundry recommend the following formulas and comparison tables
according to the experience and standards.
Formula A - Convert HRC into HB
Rockwell C Hardness (HRC) | Brinell Hardness (HB) |
From 21 to 30 | HB = 5.970 * HRC + 104.7 |
From 31 to 40 | HB = 8.570 * HRC + 27.6 |
From 41 to 50 | HB = 11.158 * HRC - 79.6 |
From 51 to 60 | HB = 17.515 * HRC - 401 |
Formula B - Convert HRB into HB
Rockwell B Hardness (HRB) | Brinell Hardness (HB) |
From 55 to 69 | HB = 1.646 * HRB + 8.7 |
From 70 to 79 | HB = 2.394 * HRB - 42.7 |
From 80 to 89 | HB = 3.297 * HRB - 114 |
From 90 to 100 | HB = 5.582 * HRB - 319 |
The following two conversion tables come from standard ASTM A 370. Table A is the comparison between Rockwell C Hardness, Brinell Hardness, Vickers Hardness and tensile strength (Rm). Table B is the comparison between HRB, BH, HV and Rm, refer to iron-foundry.com.
