Test was used in this experiment and consisted of indenting each of the materials with a steel ball indenter or diamond cone. The indenter is fixed in the testing machine and is forced into the material at a preliminary load that corresponds to the scale in use. When equilibrium has been achieved‚ the testing machine follows the movement of the indenter and responds to the change in depth of penetration. On top of the preliminary load there is the major load. Together the loads create the total load
