minus-squareAnticorp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28arrow-down1·1 year agoYou’re talking about brittleness and tensile strength, not hardness. Hardness is measured with the Mohs Hardness Scale, and there is significant cross-over between “rocks” and hardened metal.

minus-squaresilly goose meekah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoRock is usually harder though, but steel is more tough. Compared to a lot of other materials steel is still really hard, to be fair. At least that’s my understanding, as someone who just googled “hardness vs toughness” lol

Yes, my comment was a pun

Van Halen, then.
Neil Diamond is the softest.
