Concept introduction:

Hardness is defined as a property of a material which describes the condition or quality of being hard. The material should possess hardness to avoid penetration, indentation, etc. Hardness also measures the strength of the material. Generally, macroscopic hardness is generally specified by intermolecular bonds, but under the force the behavior of solid materials is complex. The different measurement of hardness are: indentation hardness, scratch hardness, and rebound hardness.
