It would be poor judgement to mess with the rolling element bearing hardness. The heat-treatment has been developed over decades. One factor is the residual compressive stresses developed on the surface ( by New Departure years ago) to significantly extend fatigue life.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 08:46:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/47351/what-is-the-physical-reasoning-behind-metal-becoming-stronger-and-harder-if-heatThe effects of heating-quenching a metal is explained below Transformation hardening is the heat-quench-tempering heat treatment cycle addressed earlier in this article. It's used to adjust strength and ductility to meet specific application requirements. There are three steps to transformation hardening: Cause the steel to become completely austenitic by heating it 50 to 100 degrees F above ...Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:42:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/37564/durometer-and-shoreCan someone help me understand durometer and shore hardness testing with relation to rubber hardness? My understanding is durometer measures hardness, shore is a different type of scale. The image ...Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:50:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/48991/difference-between-stiffness-k-and-modulus-of-elasticity-eIn Solid Mechanics, We can relate these K=AE/L. I am confused in these. Both resist deformations when load is applied on it. Is K constant like E is constant. Another thing which is confusing is hardness which is the same (resists deformation on application of load).Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:37:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/53535/how-do-you-plot-a-relation-between-hardness-and-strainHow do I plot the relation between hardness of a material and compressive strain knowing the stress-strain curve and indentation size in Brinell's hardness testFri, 10 Apr 2026 19:55:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/50487/what-is-the-significance-of-brittle-materials-and-why-do-we-use-themWe have studied that cast iron which is a brittle material is used in automobile cylinder block, head, housing flywheel etc. If it is a brittle material then why it is used there? Another term that is confusing me is hardness. How hardness is related to brittleness. If a material is strong and hard, will it be brittle?Fri, 20 Mar 2026 06:58:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/49912/what-material-property-youngs-modulus-hrc-hardness-max-yield-strength-etcGiven similar strength and hardness spec, materials that work-harden can be much worse to work with. If milling or drilling, some materials form nasty chips compared to others. Some have a wear-resistant microstructure (grains of carbides or silicons) and hence eat up the cutting tool faster than others...Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/58881/is-copper-wool-rather-than-traditional-brass-wool-good-for-cleaning-heavy-blacHardness (low-carbon steel, of steel-strand-cored metal wool) = 3 (source: google) Explanation: So long as the metal hardness of the wool or metal bristled brush that you are using is softer than the tip, you don't risk scratching it. This matters when considering heavy oxidation build up and burned carbon-containing residue.Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:40:00 GMThttps://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/61425/metal-monocrystalline-structures-and-temperingThe size, shape, layout, and many other properties of these grains has a considerable impact on the macro-scale properties of the metal, e.g it's toughness, rigidness, tensile strength, hardness, and all the other wonderful properties of metals.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:19:00 GMT
