Mechanical properties define how a metal responds to external loads and forces. Key properties discussed in the text and general metallurgy include:
: The ability to return to original shape after unloading (elasticity) and the resistance to elastic deformation (stiffness/Young's Modulus). 🛠️ Mechanical Working of Metals Mechanical Properties and Working of Metals and...
: The ability to resist deformation or failure under load, often measured as yield strength (point of permanent deformation) and ultimate tensile strength (maximum stress). Mechanical properties define how a metal responds to
