Talk:Hardness (materials science)

The image link to the hardness tester is broken.

This article needs to include a definition of what hardness actually is rather than just a list of methods to measure it. LochVoil 23:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Move this page back to "Hardness"
This disambiguation page doesn't seem useful - it has over a hundred links to it that are almost entirely referring to the materials science usage. Per WP:MOSDAB: "do not create entries merely because [hardness] is part of the name.... The above does not apply if the subject is commonly referred to simply by [hardness]". People searching for hard water or hard matter are unlikely to use "hardness" alone as a search term - neither of those are referred to simply by "hardness". The difficulty level is linked to at the hard disambiguation page - I believe a hatnote to hard would help anyone who came here looking for the difficulty level.

How do others feel about moving the materials science page back to the main article "hardness"? LyrlTalk C 02:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
