ImproveToughness is the ability of steel to absorb energy.

Hardness is the ability of steels to withstand wear. Hardness is the ability of material to withstand the indent and is measured in rockwel or vickers. also it is a measure of stiffness of material. but hardenability is ability of material to become hardened by various methods of hardening such as carburising or quenching. it is firmly dependent on quantity of carbon in that material. and actually it doesn't have any measuring unit !

What is thermal softening?

Thermosofting is the name of a plastic that has weak bonds between the molecules, so when the plastic is heated the bonds between the molecules break allowing the plastic to become soft. When the plastic is cooled again the forces between the molecules bring them back together. This causes the plastic to harden. I hope that's OK.


How much is an ounce of turquoise worth?

I'm not sure how much it is worth but my guess is not a whole lot. This is because on the Mohs scale of hardness(diamond being 10) it ranks only a 5. This means it can chip. The best quality turquoise is clear blue with no veins or brown spots. Even still u can buy a top quality 16mm bead for $10 each. I usually only make jewelry with gems that have a hardness of 7 or higher. However the colour of turquoise is beautiful and I'm considering using it. Also if u looking to purchase turquoise make sure it is stabilized turquoise.It has been treated to harden it. Also-"African turquoise"is not turquoise- it is jasper.

What is the difference between Hardness and Harden-ability of steel?

There are some differences between hardness and hardenability. Hardness is the surface property of material to give resistance to the penetration or plastic deformation and it is measured by one of the tests......Rockwell hardness test,Brinell hardness test and Vicker hardness test. On the other hand,hardenability is defined as the ability how the material would be hardened and it is measured by Jominy hardenability test.
