Elasticity

Elasticity is a property of a metal that can be restored its original position after deformation when it is loaded.

Plasticity

Plasticity is a property of a metal that cannot be restored its original position after deformation when it is loaded.

Malleability

It is the property of metal by which characterization of small plates

Ductility

It is the property of metal to be drawn into thin wire

Machinability

Machinability is the property of a material, such as a metal, that makes it easy to drill, shape, cut, grind, etc.

Weld Ability

The weld ability also known as join ability of a material refers to its ability to be welded.

Wear Resistance

It is the property of metal to resist wear

Hardness

 It is the ability of the metal to resist any indentation or abrasion

Stiffness

 It is the ability of the metal to resist the deformation or deflection

Toughness

It is the ability of the metal to absorb energy both elastically and plastically deform when it is loaded

Geometrical properties of sections explained video

Brittleness

It is the property of breaking the material without permanent deformation

Creep

It is the continuous and slow deformation when it is subjected to constant load in a period of time

Temperature Creep

It is the continuous and slow deformation when it is subjected to constant load over a period of time due to increase of temperature

Cyclic Loading

It is defined as the continuous application of the load by maximum to minimum value

Fatigue

It is the ability of the material to avoid the crack when it is subjected to cyclic loading

Repeated Loading

When the load repeatedly varies both value and direction is called as repeated loading

Endurance Limit

It is the max stress value in which the material can withstand without failure

When it is subjected to reversed loading
