p1- material + applications Flashcards
compressive strength
withstand being crushed or shortened by pushing forces
Tensile
ability to resist stretching
Bending
resist forces that may bend the material
shear
Resists sliding forces on parallel plane
Torsional
Withstand twisting forces from applied torsion
mallability
withstand deformation by compression
Ductility
drawn out under pressure
fusibility
ability of material to be fused or converted from solid to liquid
magnetism
natural force between objects
density
mass of material
corrosion/ degradation resistance
withstand environmental attack and decay
electrical conductor
flow of electrical current through materials
insulator
don’t allow follow of electricity through material
conductor
transfer of heat energy through material
opaque
prevents light travelling through
