Extracted text: Hardness tests are performed more frequently than any other mechanical test for several reasons: (Choose all that apply): Other mechanical properties can be estimated from hardness data such as tensile strength The test is simple and inexpensive The test is nondestructive, which means that the specimen is neither fractured or excessively deformed after the test Testing apparatus is relatively expensive
