TY - JOUR TI - BRINELL INDENTATION DIAMETER MEASUREMENT WITHOUT USING an OPTICAL MICROSCOPE AB - The Brinell hardness test method has been in common use for over 100 years. The Brinell test method provides hardnessmeasurement near the deformed or cracked zone. In this work, there is an approach to obtaining several railway steel samples'hardness by using a spherical indenter without optical measurement. Spherical indentation diameter is commonly effected bysink-in and pile-up effect that influences optical measurement negatively. Because of that, the purposed approach aims to obtainaverage hardness values by using indentation and relaxation curves.
