A00002.gifHardness vs. tensile strength for 6000-alloys (Topic: 10061)

The curve below shows roughly a relationship between Brinell hardness and tensile strength for 6000-alloys in the T6 condition.

Remember that a hardness number covers a range of tensile stress levels and must not be used uncritical to give precise measurements of strength.
