Study Notes
Material Properties
- Hardness describes a material's resistance to penetration, wear, or cutting.
- Strength refers to a material's ability to withstand forces that aim to deform it without breaking.
- Elasticity is the ability of a material to stretch and return to its original shape after deformation.
- Plasticity allows a metal to be reshaped permanently.
- Ductility allows a metal to be drawn into thinner sections without breaking.
- Malleability enables a material to be stretched or shaped by hammering or rolling without breaking.
- Toughness describes a material's ability to deform without breaking.
- Brittleness is the property that causes a metal to break when deformed or hammered.
- Conductivity refers to a material's ability to transmit heat or electricity.
- Durability measures a metal's ability to withstand force over an extended period.
Material Properties
- Hardness is the resistance of a material to penetration, wear, or cutting actions.
- Strength is the ability of a material to withstand forces that try to deform it, or to resist stress without breaking.
- Elasticity refers to the ability of a material to stretch and return to its original size and shape after being deformed.
- Plasticity, allows a material to be reshaped.
- Ductility allows metals to be drawn into thinner sections without breaking.
- Malleability allows a material to be stretched or shaped by hammering or rolling without breaking.
- Toughness is the ability of a metal to deform without breaking.
- Brittleness is the opposite of toughness, meaning the material will break when deformed or hammered.
- Conductivity allows a material to transmit heat or electrical conduction.
- Durability refers to the ability of a metal to withstand force over a period of time.
