Technical aspect of hardness/wear resistance

Very interesting. Anyone know how HSS fits into that list of hardness values? Or is it just a synonym for one of the others?

I think this has your answer:

Rockwell-C 63-69 depending


Or, do you mean HS hardness scale
Shore Scleroscope Hardness

Good hardness conversion calculator.
Just click on the listed hardness scale you want to convert From.


& Here's a more complete Rockwell / Brinell conversion table:

So, somewhere between Hardened Tool Steel and Hard Chromium Plate, if I read it all correctly. Thanks.
