Conversion of Hardness-to-Hardness Values for Cold Working Steels per. ISO 18265 - 2013
Hardness conversions are no substitute for direct measurements. WARNING - Hardness conversions are no substitute for direct measurements. These tables should be used with caution. Uncertainty values are not included in table data on conversions.
This table calculator presents conversion values for steels for cold working that have been quenched and tempered. These values are based on results of testing carried out on steels as specified in TGL 4393.
