Resistance developed by surface of any material is known as ____________

Hardness is a surface property. Resistance developed by the surface of any material is known as hardness.

Hardness is defined as a material's ability to resist permanent indentation (that is plastic deformation). Typically, the harder the material, the better it resists wear or deformation.

The term hardness, thus, also refers to the local surface stiffness of a material or its resistance to scratching, abrasion, or cutting.
