What does the tensile test test for?
How much force it takes to break a material
Measured in N Newtons
Definition of Strength
The ability to withstand an applied load without failure or plastic deformation
Definition of Brittleness?
A material that fractures when subjected to stress but has a little tendency to deform
Definition of Dielectric strength?
The electrical strength of an insulating material
Definition of conductivity?
A measure of the ability of the material to conduct an electrical current
Definition of Hardness?
A materials resistance to permanent indentation or plastic deformation
Definition of Ductility?
A materials ability to stretch or bend without breaking
Definition of Malleability?
The ability of a material to easily change into a new shape
Definition of Elasticity?
The ability of a deformed material body to return to its original shape and size
Definition of Toughness?
The ability to withstand strain or hardship or to absorb energy and deform without breaking
Definition of Plasticity?
A materials ability to deform permanently when stressed without breaking
