    This document discusses the mechanical properties of metals, including hardness, toughness, ductility, malleability, strength, and brittleness. Hardness is a metal's ability to resist permanent shape change from external forces. Toughness is the ability to resist fracture when a large force is applied. Ductility refers to how easily a metal can be drawn into thin wires and withstand tensile stress. Malleability is the property of being able to be rolled into thin sheets to withstand compression. These mechanical properties influence a metal's ability to resist loads.

    THE MECHANICAL

    PROPERTIES OF METAL
    Group 1
    Members:

    INTRODUCTION
    Mechanical properties of metal
    are properties that are associated with the ability of a metal to resist loads. They heavily
    influence the characteristics of a metal.
    The following are some of the important mechanical properties of a metal:
    ■ Hardness
    ■ Toughness
    ■ Ductility
    ■ Malleability
    ■ Strength
    ■ Brittle
    ■ Fusibility
    ■ Conductivity
    Hardness
    Hardness
    is the ability of a metal to resist permanent change of shape caused by an external force.

    •Hardness is a measure of a metal's ability to withstand friction and thus avoid abrasion. A
    diamond, for example, is very hard. It is very difficult to scratch the surface of a diamond. But a
    diamond is not particularly tough, as it can be easily smashed by a hard impact.
    Toughness
    Toughness:
    W hen a huge external force is applied on a metal, the metal will experience fracture.
    Toughness is the ability of a metal to resist fracture.
    •Toughness measure's a
    metal's ability to maintain its
    integrity while being
    pressed, pulled, or
    deformed. A metal that can
    be bent without breaking is
    tougher than a metal that
    will break rather than bend.
    Ductility
    Ductility:
    is the property by which a metal can be drawn into thin wires. It is
    determined by percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area of a
    metal.
    Ductility is a measure of a metal's ability to withstand tensile
    stress—any force that pulls the two ends of a material away from
    each other. The game of tug-of-war provides a good example of
    tensile strength being applied to a rope. Ductility is the plastic
    deformation that occurs as a result of such types of strain. The
    term "ductile" literally means that a metal substance is capable
    of being stretched out into a thin wire, and it does not become
    weaker or become brittle in the process
    Malleability
    Malleability:
    It is the property by which a metal can be rolled into thin sheets. Highly malleable metals (like
    Mild Steel) are extensively used in making sheet metals.

    Malleability is the measure of a metal's ability to


    withstand compression, such as hammering,
    rolling, or pressing. While these two concepts may
    seem similar on the surface, metals that are ductile
    are not necessarily malleable. A common example
    of the difference between these two properties
    is lead, which is highly malleable but not highly
    ductile due to its crystal structure. The crystal
    structure of metals dictates how they will deform
    under stress
