<b>QUESTION:</b> What is Rockwell Hardness? <b>ANSWER:</b> Rockwell Hardness refers to Rockwell Hardness testing. This is an application of testing the hardness of materials such as metal or plastic. The testing will vary, but one example is when a diamond cone or ball is depressed at pressure into the material. The impression is measured and then given a hardness rating.
