	Mohs scale of mineral hardness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was created, in 1812, by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs and is one of several definitions of hardness in materials science.
		Using these ordinary materials of known hardness can be a simple way to approximate the position of a mineral on the scale.
		Mohs' is a purely ordinal scale with, for example, corundum being twice as hard as topaz, but diamond, almost four times as hard as corundum.

	Delta Education K-6 Complete Modules - Earth Materials
		The Earth Materials module consists of four sequential investigations dealing with observable characteristics of solid materials from the earth—rocks and minerals.
		The focus is on taking materials apart to find what they are made of and putting materials together to better understand their properties.
		The module introduces fundamental concepts in earth science and takes advantage of the students’ intrinsic interest in the subject matter and in the physical world around them.

	Tabor, David - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Tabor, David
		Tabor's work on the hardness of solids includes an explanation of the indentation hardness of metals, plastic indentation and elastic recovery, the first correlation of hardness behaviour with the creep properties of the material (hot-hardness), a study of scratch hardness, and a simple physical explanation of Mohs scale (used in the testing of minerals).
		Tabor researched into the shear properties of molecular films of long-chain organic molecules as an extension of earlier work on the mechanism of boundary lubrication, and showed that the shear strength of these materials rises sharply when they are subjected to high pressure.
		Tabor showed that the low friction of Teflon is due not to poor adhesion but to molecular structure, and worked on the self-lubrication of polymers by incorporating surface materials into the polymer itself.

		Quasicrystals, solid materials possessing an odd five-fold or ten-fold symmetry (making the ten-fold solid partly periodic and partly aperiodic) and which form dodecahedral grains, seem to present less friction than do many other materials.
		Their optical probe is possibly the first practical application of sonoluminescence, which up to now has resided primarily in the realm of basic science.
		At last week's AVS Science and Technology meeting in Anaheim, Park reported finding was a highly anisotropic friction for his Al-Ni-Co quasicrystal: low friction when sliding the probe in the aperiodic direction and high friction when sliding along the periodic direction (jypark@lbl.gov, see website at stm.lbl.gov/research/Quasicrystal/Quasicrystal.html).

	Encyclopedia: MOH
		It was created, in 1812, by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs and is one of several definitions of hardness in materials science.
		With his systematic classification of the realm of minerals, Mohs was in conflict with most of the other mineralogists of the time, due to his preference for physical attributes as the principles of classification (i.e., shape, cleavage, hardness, and specific weight), as opposed to the chemical composition of the minerals.
		In 1826, Mohs was appointed Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Vienna.

	THERMAL SPRAY COATINGS
		Thermal spray science and technology is now beginning to enter the vocabulary of materials science.
		Methods of measurement include the double cantilever beam (DCB) test, double torsion test, bending test, hardness indentation, etc. The scratch test is being considered within the biomedical industry to examine the adhesion of plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite to orthopedic prostheses.
		But it is this versatility (virtual freedom in materials selection) and the inherent complexity of the process (large numbers of interacting process parameters) that will limit an Edisonian approach and require that a concerted effort be made to place the technology on a sound scientific basis.

		The team also shows that lowering the temperature of the gels results in long-range ordering of the ionic liquid ions and the consequent formation of crystalline materials.

		Advanced ceramics are a group of high performance materials that possess exceptional hardness, high-temperature strengths, low thermal conductivity, and low thermal coefficient of expansion.
		Most of these materials have been used in industry for decades, but the new types are produced by modern chemical and material science techniques.
		They can be used in load-bearing structures, wear resistance parts, electronic components, high temperature sensors, biomedics, catalyst supports, etc. The basic raw materials for advanced ceramics are powders of inorganic oxides, carbides, nitrides, and various derivatives thereof.

	Damascus - Wootz Steel
		Though an ancient material, wootz steel also fulfills the description of an advanced material, since it is an ultra-high carbon steel exhibiting properties such as superplasticity and high impact hardness and held sway over a millennium in three continents- a feat unlikely to be surpassed by advanced materials of the current era.
		Wootz deserves a place in the annals of western science due to the stimulus provided by the study of this material in the 18th and 19th centuries to modern metallurgical advances, not only in the metallurgy of iron and steel, but also to the development of physical metallurgy in general and metallography in particular.
		The wootz steel process in general refers to a closed crucible process and Lowe [32] has remarked that the processing of plant and mineral materials in closed crucibles is often described in Indian alchemical Sanskrit texts of the 7th-13th c.

	Metallurgy
		Metallurgy is a domain of Materials Science and of Materials Engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements and their mixtures, which are called alloys.
		Metals can be heat treated by annealing, quenching and case hardening to alter properties of toughness, hardness or resistance to corrosion.
		Extractive metallurgy is the practice of separating metals, usually in the form of a metal oxide, from their ore, and refining them into a pure metal.

		The materials on floor of the crater (middle to lower left) are layered, with differing degrees of hardness and resistance to erosion producing cliffs (resistant layers) and ledges (easily eroded layers).
		The photos are not yet fully calibrated for scientific use, and so no science findings are being discussed, said researchers who operate the camera from Arizona State University.
