Brinell Conference Room

Johan August Brinell (1849–1925) is best known for the invention of the hardness test method, which is commonly used across the industries. In 1900 he came up with a solution where a certain load is applied to a hard metal ball that indents the tested material. The ratio between the load applied and the spherical area of the indent can be used to calculate the hardness number.



Together they authored the Rockwell hardness test, a most useful non-destructive method. It relies on the measurement of the depth of penetration of an indenter on the material being tested, making it possible to calculate its relative hardness on a common scale.
In terms of steelmaking, Brinell's key contribution was in the form of innovative research on phase transformations in steel. He carried out extensive investigation of the steel structure during heating and cooling. His research on steel properties was showcased at the General Art and Industrial Exposition of Stockholm in 1897 and the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900.
