Measures Hardness Of Metals.

An instrument to measure the hard
ness of metals has been recently de-
vised, more especially designed and
found very useful in the manufacture
of tools like twist drills, where the
hardness has to be kept between mar
row limits. 1t consists of glass tube,
within which steel ball of 40 grains
weight, treated by a special process
so as to have jewel hardness, falls
freely. The height Of the rebound of
the ball measures the hardness of the
metal it strikes. Were the area of
contact between the dropped weight
and the metal larger, SO that no APP
preciable dent were made, the rebound
would be a measure of elasticity Yath-
er than hardness. The height of the
rebound is measured on a scale, of
which 100 is the average hardness of
carbon steel, which is also found to be
the safety limit for steel tools. after
relocating and tempering ready for use.
