Metals primarily composed of iron, used in many applications.

Steels that contain different metal elements combined with iron.

Ability of a material to be deformed under compressive stress.

Ability of a material to stretch without breaking.

Capacity of a material to return to its original shape after deformation.

Process to alter physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material.

Methods used to measure a material's resistance to deformation.

Materials made from two or more constituent materials with different properties.

Alloys containing aluminium, often used for their lightweight and durability.

Pure aluminum alloys known for high formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.

Alloys primarily made with copper, offering increased strength but vulnerable to intergranular corrosion.

Alloys that use manganese and are non-heat-treatable with moderate strength (e.g., 3003).

Alloys alloyed with silicon which lower melting temperature, good for welding and brazing.

Alloys containing magnesium, known for good welding and corrosion resistance.

Corrosion that occurs between the grains of metals, notably in copper-aluminum alloys when poorly heat-treated.

The ability of a material to conduct electric current, high in 1xxx series.

Alloys that can be strengthened through heat treatment, such as 2xxx series; 3xxx series is not heat-treatable.

A device that measures material hardness by the diameter of an impression left by a ball-shaped indenter.

A hardness tester that measures the depth of indentation made by a penetrator under a load.

A scale that indicates hardness based on the depth of penetration into a material.

A test that applies a load to a material to determine its maximum tensile strength.

The amount of extension a material undergoes when subjected to tensile stress.

A method to determine the stress level at which a material will fail under cyclic loading.

Corrosion that occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte.

A type of aramid fiber known for high strength and durability but can stretch.

A disadvantage of Aramid is that it stretches, causing potential issues when cut.

Drilling can be problematic if the drill bit pulls a fiber until it stretches or breaks.

Used to make primary structural components, reducing the need for additional reinforcements in design.

Fibers that maintain strength and flexibility at high temperatures, up to 1200 °C.

Ceramic fibers are commonly used in applications like firewalls and spacecraft tiles.
