Steel Hardness Conversion Table

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.

Steel Hardness conversion calculator
Brinell Hardness HB Rockwell C - HRC Rockwell B - HRB Vickers - HV  
Enter a figure into any of the fields and click calculate, the nearest values in each scale is shown, or zero if out of range. Values are approximate and for guidance only.

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

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.
