Hardness testers using the Rebound process operate during a slightly different manner. Though the dimensions of the test indentation generated are connected with the hardness of the material even during this case, it's indirectly measured via the loss of energy of an alleged impact body.
A mass is accelerated to the surface of the test object and impinges thereon at an outlined speed, i.e. kinetic energy. The impact develops a plastic deformation of the surface, i.e. an indentation, because of that the impact body loses a part of its original speed - or energy. It will lose a lot of rate once making an even bigger indentation on softer material. Technically, this Rebound Hardness Tester principle of activity is enforced by means that of a sway body that features a spherical tungsten carbide tip and that is accelerated onto the test surface by spring force. The velocities once and before the impact are all measured during a non-contact mode.
