  2. Ductility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility

    The local necking and the cup and cone fracture surfaces are typical for ductile metals. This tensile test of a nodular cast iron demonstrates low ductility. Ductility refers to the ability of a material to sustain significant plastic deformation before fracture. Plastic deformation is the permanent distortion of a material under applied stress ...

  3. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    This glossary of chemistry terms is a list of terms and definitions relevant to chemistry, including chemical laws, diagrams and formulae, laboratory tools, glassware, and equipment. Chemistry is a physical science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter , as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions ...

  4. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A ductile material must have a high degree of plasticity and strength so that large deformations can take place without failure or rupture of the material. In ductile extension, a material that exhibits a certain amount of elasticity along with a high degree of plasticity. [3] Durability: Ability to withstand wear, pressure, or damage; hard-wearing

  5. Ductility (Earth science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility_(Earth_science)

    In Earth science, ductility refers to the capacity of a rock to deform to large strains without macroscopic fracturing. [1] Such behavior may occur in unlithified or poorly lithified sediments , in weak materials such as halite or at greater depths in all rock types where higher temperatures promote crystal plasticity and higher confining ...

  6. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    In materials science, slip is the large displacement of one part of a crystal relative to another part along crystallographic planes and directions. [1] Slip occurs by the passage of dislocations on close/packed planes, which are planes containing the greatest number of atoms per area and in close-packed directions (most atoms per length).

  7. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

    In any case the result is a more ductile material but a lower yield strength and a lower tensile strength. This process is also called LP annealing for lamellar pearlite in the steel industry as opposed to a process anneal , which does not specify a microstructure and only has the goal of softening the material.

  8. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    Some physical properties are qualitative, such as shininess, brittleness, etc.; some general qualitative properties admit more specific related quantitative properties, such as in opacity, hardness, ductility, viscosity, etc. Physical properties are often characterized as intensive and extensive properties. An intensive property does not depend ...

  9. Fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture

    The terms "rupture" and "ductile rupture" describe the ultimate failure of ductile materials loaded in tension. The extensive plasticity causes the crack to propagate slowly due to the absorption of a large amount of energy before fracture. [9] [10] Ductile fracture surface of 6061-T6 aluminum
