1.1 - Material Properties Flashcards
Whats meant by mechanical properties?
How it’s reacts to a force
Whats meant by physical properties?
Structure and make up of a material
What are the mechanical properties:
- Torsion
- compression
- Tension
- Bending
- shear
- hardness
- toughness
- plasticity
- ductility
- malleability
- elasticity
What are the physical properties:
- conductor electrical and thermal
- insulator electrical and thermal
- thermal expansion
- opaque
- translucent
- transparent
- density
- fusibility
- magnetism
- corrosion resistance
What’s compressive strength?
Withstanding pushing forces
What’s tensile strength?
Withstand pulling forces
What’s the difference between plasticity and elasticity?
Both deformed
Plasticity- permanent
Elasticity- returns to original shape
What is fusibility?
Fused from solid to liquid/ molten
By heat
For metal being cast
What’s malleability?
Deformed under pressure without cracking
What’s plasticity?
Deformed and remain the deformed shape
What’s ductility?
Drawn under tension without cracking
What’s opaque?
Prevents light
Whats Translucent?
Blurs light
what is shear strength?
resisting sliding forces
like scissors
what is toughness?
absorbing shock without fracture
