materials properties Flashcards
What is strength
The ability of a material to stand up to forces being applied without it, bending breaking, shattering, or deforming in any way. This includes tensile, torsional, compression and being strength
What is Hardness
The ability of the material to resist scratching from wear and tear, bending and indentation
What is brittleness
Brittle material cannot withstand much stretching. They will crack or break rather than change shape.
What is toughness
This is the opposite of brittle. It is the ability to resist breaking or shattering
What is durability
The ability to withstand repeated use wear and tear weathering and corrosive attack.
What is ductile
The ability of a material to change shape (usually stretching) materials can also have heat, conductivity electrical conductivity and be corrosion resistant.
