Metal properties Flashcards
Coeffiecent of thermal expansion
how muhc a metla expands when exposed to heat
Modulus of elasticity
A materials resistant to elastic deformation.nstres/ strain relationship
Galavanic corrosion
when two dismmialr metals are in the presence of an eloctoryte, one metal gives up an ion to the other metal causing it corrode
Weldability
the ability of a metal to be joiiend by flux.
what type of metal is more corrosive resitant
non ferrous metals
Toughness and Impact strenght
the ability to resit shock
Shear strenght
the ease at which a material can resits a sliding together motion
The most common measure of ductility
% elongation. Elongation strian (cghnage in lengght)/length
Torsational strenght
the ability to reists a load in a turning motion
Strain
the deformation of a material
relating to a change from the original lengght. L .Deformation/Orginal Strength. measured in epsilon.
Elastic and plastic Deformation
the material is given a load and then released, but returns to it’s original lenght. Plastic: the material is given a load and then released, but retains a permanent deformation
Impact strenght
the ability to resit constant forces such as fracutruign and shock force as well as plastic deformation
Fatigue
The ability to resit a constant load over a period of time.
Flexural strength. Draw diagram
the ability of a material to bend before it yields. Or the amount of stress before it bends.

Hardness
the abiltiy fo a material to resit a change in shape and penetration . includes resitantacne to wear, tear, scracthing
