Editing Mohs scale (section)

==Use==
Despite its lack of precision, the Mohs scale is relevant for field geologists, who use it to roughly identify minerals using scratch kits. The Mohs scale hardness of minerals can be commonly found in reference sheets.

Mohs hardness is useful in [[Mill (grinding)|milling]]. It allows the assessment of which type of mill and grinding medium will best reduce a given product whose hardness is known.<ref name="Milling1">{{cite web |title=Size reduction, comminution |series=Grinding and milling |publisher=PowderProcess.net |url=http://www.powderprocess.net/Grinding_Milling.html |access-date=27 October 2017}}</ref>

Electronic manufacturers use the scale for testing the resilience of flat panel display components (such as cover glass for [[Liquid-crystal display|LCD]]s or encapsulation for [[OLED]]s), as well as to evaluate the hardness of touch screens in consumer electronics.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Purdy |first=Kevin |date=16 May 2014 |title=Hardness is not toughness: Why your phone's screen may not scratch, but will shatter |magazine=Computerworld |publisher=IDG Communications Inc. |url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/2833434/hardness-is-not-toughness--why-your-phone-s-screen-may-not-scratch--but-will-shatter.html |access-date=16 April 2021}}</ref>
