1
Q
hardness test
A
a test to see how well a material resists stratching, e.g. with a dot punch or file
2
Q
toughness testing
A
a test to see how well a material resists impact, e.g. clamping into a vice and hitting with a hammer
3
Q
tensile strength testing
A
a test to see how well a material resists pulling or stretching forces, e.g. clamping into a vice and weighing down with weights
4
Q
corrosion testing
A
a test to see how well a material resists corrosion when exposed to environmental conditions
5
