A graph titled 'Reference sample by Yamamoto science tool.' On the left side of the chart are the numbers 0-80, representing a Rockwell Hardness rating. On the bottom of the chart are the numbers 0-12, which reference X-ray FWHM degrees. The chart showcases the correlation between surface hardness and FWHM: As FWHM increases, so does surface hardness.
