Improving the properties
of a material
Iron
Properties
Hardness
Has the ability to withstand
scratching
and
denting
.
Toughness
Has the ability to
withstand impact
. The tougher the material the
more force required to fracture
it.
Strength
A material that
can not be stretched
,
compressed
easily. Can
withstand great amount of pressure
.
Insulator
Does not
allow
heat
or
electricity
to pass through it easily
Conductor
Allows
electricity
and
heat
to pass through it easily.
Ductile
A material that can be
drawn out into a thin wire
. Able to deform without
loosing toughness
.
Brittleness
The material
will shatter/break
easily
when dropped
. This material is also a
hard material
Elasticity
The ability for a
material to be stretched
and it will return to its original shape/form
Malleability
It can be
shaped
or
formed easily
without fracturing.
Ferrous
It will rust. It will be magnetic. It will contain iron.
Non-Ferrous
It will not rust. It will not be magnetic. It does not contain iron
