Three sets of standards were prepared: (1) a set of minerals according to Mohs'Scale, (2) a set of steel samples, and (3) a set of Carboloy (tungsten carbide alloy) samples. The sets of standards were compared with each other according to their scratch hardness. Specimens of ceramic materials were then measured for scratch hardness with each set of standards. The results are compared.
