1
Q
Tensile Strength: The ability of a material to withstand
A
pulling or stretching forces.
2
Q
Compressive Strength
A
The ability of a material to
withstand compressive (squeezing) forces without failing.
3
Q
Hardness
A
The resistance of a material to indentation,
scratching, or wear. Materials with high hardness are durable
and resistant to surface damage.
4
Q
Ductility
A
The ability of a material to undergo significant
deformation under tensile stress without breaking, often by
stretching into a wire.
5
Q
Malleability
A
The ability of a material to be hammered or
rolled into thin sheets without breaking or cracking.
6
Q
Electrical Conductivity
A
The ability of a material to
conduct an electrical current.
7
Q
Thermal Conductivity
A
The ability of a material to conduct
heat.
