DEF

A measure of the resistance of minerals or metals to scratching; for minerals it is defined by comparison with 10 selected minerals which are numbered in order of increasing hardness according to the Mohs scale.

CONT

Scratch hardness tests are relatively quick. A simple, though crude, method of measuring relative hardness is to determine whether or not one material will scratch another. For minerals this is a commonly used method of determining hardness.

CONT

Dans la pratique cristallographique et minéralogique, on considère surtout la résistance à la rayure, qui, bien que dépendant de la nature de la pointe employée, de son inclinaison et de la force qu'on lui applique, constitue cependant toujours une caractéristique essentielle.
