An object’s hardness should be classified as a feature or a characteristic rather than one of its properties and the hardness is generally measured by calculating the permanent area of the indentation caused by a fixed load.

Simply said Rockwell ‘RC’ is the measuring of materials hardness. It is a test measuring the penetration depth made by a large load in relation to that made by a lighter one.

Rockwell hardness testing is the most commonly used method for assessing the hardness of specimens. Under this method, the hardness of the specimen is measured by assessing the depth of the indentation made by the indenter under the test load on the specimen surface.
