Answer 18

D = mass (normally kg) / volume (normally m^3)

Question 19

What’s hardness?

Answer 19

resistance to being scratched or penetrated

Question 20

What’s toughness?

Answer 20

property that allows materials to be hit or struck (do not resist impacts are called fragile materials)

Question 21

Answer 26

subjected to compressing

Question 27

What's flexural stress?

Answer 27

subjected to bending

Question 28

What's torsion stress?

Answer 28

subjected to twisting

Question 29

What types types of physical & chemical properties are there?

Answer 29

Thermal & electrical properties: Thermal conductivity, Thermal expansion, melting point & electrical conductivity. Chemical properties: Oxidation & Corrosion.

Question 30

What's thermal conductivity?

Answer 30

capacity to transmit heat

Question 31

What's thermal expansion?

Answer 31

capacity of expanding volume when heated

Question 32

What's melting point?

Answer 32

temperature which goes from solid to liquid

Question 33

What's electrical conductivity?

Answer 33

capacity of having an electrical current

Question 34

What's oxidation?

Answer 34

combined with oxygen, transforming it to oxide. Created oxide later when exposed of oxygen.

Question 35

What's corrosion?

Answer 35

if oxidation takes place with water, it corrodes. Corrosion is more dangerous because it slowly destroys the material.
