What Does BHT Stand For?
BHT stands for Brinell Hardness Test
The Brinell Hardness Test (BHT) is a widely used method for measuring the hardness of materials, particularly metals. It involves pressing a hard steel or carbide ball into the surface of the test material under a specified load. The diameter of the indentation left in the material is measured, and the Brinell hardness number (BHN) is calculated using the applied load and the indentation size. This test is valued for its ability to provide an average hardness over a larger area, making it suitable for materials with a coarse or heterogeneous microstructure.
