I know that Cabinetree only recommends using their tester on lead as the steel is not hardened and can be damaged if used on metals harder than lead. My question is can it be used on pure tin or pure zinc without damage, and what would be the BHN of those two metals to be able to identify them if testing was done?

Pure tin is 30 bhn. Zinc I would have to look up
