How does the Vicker’s hardness test differ from Brinell’s? Correct Answer Type of indenter

Similar to Brinell’s test, Vicker’s test also employs forcing of the indenter into the surface of metal for about 10-15 seconds. However, instead of a ball indenter, a pyramid-shaped indenter is used. This test is commonly also called the diamond-pyramid hardness test.
