application design
colour
specific
heat the heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree centigrade (J/kg K)
density
mass per unit volume expressed in such units as kg/cm 3 conductivity rate at which heat flows through a given material (W/m K)
thermal
melting
point a temperature at which a solid begins to liquify conductivity a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current (m)
electrical
coefficient
tensile
strength measures the force required to pull something such as rope,wire or a structural beam to the point where it breaks a measure of how much strain a material can take before rupturing
ductility
malleability
the property of a material that can be worked or hammered or shaped without breaking breaking or shattering of a material when subjected to stress (when force is applied to it)
brittleness
elasticity
the property of a material that returns to its original shape after stress (e.g. external forces) that made it deform or distort is removed - the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forces
plasticity
toughness
the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing the property of being rigid and resistant to pressure; not easily scratched
hardness
machinability
corrosion

Specific resistance
Forging - a manufacturing process where metal is shaped by plastic deformation under great pressure into high strength parts. Casting pouring or injecting molten metal into a mold containing a cavity with the desired shape
