PROPERTIES OF METAL
10
TOUGHNESS
This is a measure of brittleness. Sudden fracture, exhibiting little ductility in the vicinity of the
break, occurs in certain metals when load is rapidly applied. The capability of a material to
resist such a brittle fracture is a measure of its toughness
HARDNESS
This is a measure of the materials ability to resist deformation. It is the inverse of ductility
MACHINABILITY
CREEP
Creep is defined as the time-dependent deformation of a material that occurs under load at elevated
temperatures.
