    Abstract
    We conducted an experiment to determine the hardness of a brass sample. We utilized a
    Rockwell hardness tester and a steel ball indenter to create small indentations in the brass. The
    hardness values obtained were around 50, indicating that the brass is moderately soft.

    Literature Review
    Rockwell hardness testing is a widely used method for assessing the hardness of materials. This
    technique involves using a machine to press a ball or cone into the material and measuring the
    depth of the resulting indentation. Harder materials exhibit shallower indentations. In our
    experiment, we utilized brass, an alloy composed of copper and zinc.

    Rockwell Hardness Machine

    Fig 1.1
    Equipment Used
    • Rockwell hardness tester

    • HRB steel ball indenter (Size: 1.5875 mm)

    • Brass sample

    • Sandpaper or file (for sample preparation)

    • Micrometer (to measure sample thickness if needed)

    Procedure
    1. We prepared the brass sample by ensuring it was flat and clean. We may have used
    sandpaper or a file to smooth its surface.

    2. We placed the brass sample on the Rockwell tester and secured it in position.
    3. We selected the HRB scale on the machine (suitable for softer metals) and the steel ball
    indenter.
    4. We carefully lowered the indenter onto the brass and applied the appropriate amount of
    force.

    5. We waited for a few seconds, and the machine displayed a hardness reading.
    6. We repeated the test at different locations on the brass to obtain an average value.

    Results and Calculations


    Table
    Sr. No. Load Applied (N) HRB values
    1 980.7 49.6
    2 980.7 47.5
    3 980.7 52.7
    4 980.7 49.8

    We calculated the average of these values to determine the final Rockwell hardness number:

    (52.7 + 47.5 + 49.5 + 49.8) / 4

    = 50.1 HRB
    Sample Picture:

    Fig 1.2
    Conclusions
    Our brass sample exhibited a Rockwell hardness of approximately 50 HRB. This suggests that it
    is neither extremely hard nor extremely soft, but rather somewhere in between. This information
    is valuable if we were to utilize this brass for a specific application and needed to understand its
    resistance to wear and tear. We observed slight variations in the readings obtained during each
    test. This could be attributed to the non-uniformity of the brass or minor errors in our testing
    procedure. However, overall, our results were relatively consistent.
