Hardness of the Tantaline Surface

The Tantaline surface has a Rockwell B hardness of about 98.  This is a hardness that is similar to 316 SS.  Some other popular units include:

    Rockwell B: 92- 100   (316SS is ~95)
    Measured 200 – 250 Vickers
    Rockwell C: 11- 23
    Rockwell A: 56 -62
    Brinell @ 3000kg: 193 – 240

For abrasive media and applications that require harder surfaces to avoid mechanical wear, ceramic protective surface are available to improve the wear resistance of the Tantaline surface.
