Density - How much mass is in a given volume., Melting point - temperature where solid phase changes to liquid phase, Thermal Expansion - Under a temp increase, a material will lengthen, resulting in massive damage to some structures., Corrosion - when a refined metal is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphide state this leads to deterioration of the material., Specific heat capacity - The quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K / 1 °C, Hardenability - The ability of a metal alloy to be hardened by forming martensite., Permittivity - a property of a material that measures the opposition it offers against an electric field. It affects how electric fields propagate and is a fundamental parameter in electromagnetics and materials science., Weldability - also known as joinability, of a material refers to its ability to be welded., Recyclability - when a process exists to collect it following its use and there are outlets for recycling it., Permeability - the property of medium or material which measures the easiness offered to pass the magnetic flux when an external magnetic filed is applied., Conductivity - measure of the ease with which an electrical current can pass through a substance, Coefficient of expansion - the increase in length per unit length when the temperature is raised 1°C, Heat sink- - copper/ali plate with very high surface area and thermal conductivity to dissipate heat (usually on parts like a CPU), Fatigue Strength - The number of cycles a product can withstand without breaking, Shear strength - A material's resistance against a shear load before the component fails to a shearing force., Tensile strength - The maximum stress that a material can bear before breaking when it is allowed to be stretched or pulled., Yield strength - Magnitude of strength for a material to go from elastic to plastic, Toughness - The (maximum) ability to withstand shock loading without fracture., Hardness - The (maximum) resistance of a material to localised plastic deformation., Ductility - How much a material can be stretched, pulled, or drawn into a thin wire or thread without breaking., Malleability - Max. amount a solid can be bent or be hammered into another shape without breaking., Elasticity - Max. ability of a deformed material body to return to its original shape/size when the forces causing the deformation are removed., Plasticity - Enables a solid under the action of external forces to undergo permanent deformation without rupture., Brittleness - When material fractures when subjected to stress but does not deform noticeably before rupture.,
