If the anvil dissipates that energy, we're left with the muscles providing all the energy to lift the hammer, but if the anvil has bounce, that portion of energy that wasn't expended in deforming the metal will be reflected (minus the energy dissipated by vibrating the anvil) back through the metal to the hammer, saving at least some effort to raise it back to striking position.
Much of the energy of the hammer strike will go to deforming the metal, but the remainder will pass through to the anvil. However, the principle is still the same. This covers the interaction of the hammer striking the anvil directly, but not the hammer striking metal on the anvil. A non-bouncy anvil reflects very little of this energy a lot more energy is required from the muscles to bring the arm back up for every strike.

In a bouncy anvil, some of that energy is reflected back into the hammer, bringing it back up some portion of its original height to bring it back to full striking height, the remainder of the energy has to come from the muscles. The energy of a hammer strike (or a falling ball bearing) has to go somewhere. The First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy) has this covered. However, you don't need experimentation to understand the rebound. Hammer's probably the better way to test for the delaminating top, yes. Sorry, but I am a skeptic.Īs far as a ball bearing revealing a delaminating steel top, testing for that would be better accomplished with a small hammer such that every surface could be tested that way, including the bick and the foot as well as the edges where the weld is, areas which are difficult to bounce a bearing off of. No one ever comes up with this sort of hard information, just the commonly accepted narrative you have provided. Specific information like comparative bounce from the same mass at various Rockwell hardness ratings. I am not saying that this is the case here, but I prefer to reserve my enthusiasm for this "ball bearing test" until someone provides some actual evidence. The firearms world is lousy with nonsensical "common knowledge". It wouldn't be the first time I have heard people present "common knowledge" on a subject in which they are involved and passionate, that was utter nonsense. I have never heard anyone cite anything that might be considered a scientific study confirming this hypothesis. Yes, I have heard that explanation and that is exactly why I am unconvinced.
