Hacksaw hardness testing is a simple and rudimentary method used to estimate the hardness of a material. It involves cutting a groove into the material with a hacksaw blade and then comparing the resistance encountered while cutting to a known material hardness scale. This method is not as precise as standard hardness testing methods but can provide a rough estimate of the material's hardness.
It is a hacksaw, which is a narrow fine-toothed blade set in a frame.
The other metal in high speed steel bi-metal machine hacksaw blades is typically a flexible material like spring steel. This combination allows the blade to maintain its hardness and cutting edge while also being flexible enough to withstand the cutting forces during use.
Safety precautions for using a hand hacksaw include, using the right blade for the material you are cutting, wear goggles and safety gloves. You should also hold the handle securely and make sure the material you are cutting is secured and will not move around.
