Abstract The value of Knoop microhardness was obtained for crystals of SrF2, BaF2, NaCl and AgCl by indentation in various directions on several crystallographic planes. In all cases, the hardness is essentially dependent on the crystallographic direction along the long axis of the indentor and independent of the plane of indentation, as first reported by Garfinkle and Garlick for other cubic crystals. In addition, although the absolute value of hardness varies from one crystal to another, the hardness anisotropy was quite similar for all crystals. Since the primary slip mode is different among the crystals tested, it is concluded that hardness anisotropy cannot be used to determine the primary slip mode.
