Stiffness, strength and hardness are all mechanical performance indicators of Wear resistant steel plates. In order to understand the meaning of the three, we must first know:
Elastic deformation: deformation that can return to its original shape and size when the external force is removed.
Plastic deformation: Deformation that does not return to its original shape and size when the external force is removed.
Next, it's easier to understand stiffness, strength, and hardness:
Stiffness: The ability of a wear resistant steel plate to resist elastic deformation when subjected to force.
Strength: The ability of wear resistant steel plate to resist plastic deformation and fracture under the action of external force.
Hardness: The ability of wear resistant steel to resist the pressure of harder objects into it.
In fact, there is no necessary connection between the three. However, hardness is a comprehensive mechanical performance index. Generally, materials with high hardness have high strength.
