Rockwell and Vickers hardnesses of silicon nitride, silicon carbide and partially stabilized zirconia were determined. Rockwell superficial hardness decreased linearly when the load increased. A table of the relation between Rockwell hardness and Vickers hardness for high strength ceramics has been obtained by comparing Vickers hardness with Rockwell surface stress calculated from the Rockwell indented diameter and the shape of the indenter.
