Mechanical Properties 
Hardness: this is the resistance of a material to surface abrasion, scratching and indentation. (Next we are going to see the different types of hardness per level from the first one that is the least hard to the last one that is the hardest)
Apatite
Feldspar
Fluorite
Quarz
Topaz
Calcite
Corundum
Gypsum
Diamond; Diamond is crystalline carbon, transparent to opaque. It is the hardest known natural material, thanks to its covalent bond, although its toughness is not as good due to significant structural defects.
Talc; Talc is a white to bluish-gray mineral. The touch is greasy or soapy and can be scratched with the fingernail.
Plasticity; This is the ability of a material to be permanently changed in shape.(As the following elements that are used both for jewelry and tools or other useful objects in engineering and / or construction)
Tin
silver
nickel
Gold
Elasticity; This is the ability of a substance to return to its original shape or volumen after it has been changed by a force.Some familiar uses of elasticity are the springs in vehicles and the rubber
Rubber; Rubber is widely used in the manufacture of tires, waterproof and insulating articles, due to its excellent elasticity properties and resistance to acids and alkaline substances. It is water repellent, insulating from temperature and electricity.
Spring; Elastic piece arranged in a spiral, generally made of metal, which is used in certain mechanisms due to the force it develops when it regains its natural position after being deformed.
Britleness: this is the property of a material that is hard but easily broken.
Ceramic;Ceramic materials are inorganic materials. They have high hardness and resistance to heating, but tend to brittle fracture. They are mainly characterized by their low weight, high rigidity and low toughness, high resistance to heat and wear, little and good insulating properties.
Graphite; Graphite is black and gray in color with a metallic luster, refractory and exfoliates very easily. In the direction perpendicular to the layers, it has a low conductivity of electricity, which increases with temperature, thus behaving like a semiconductor.
Glass;Glass is a hard, brittle, transparent, and amorphous inorganic material found in nature, although it can also be produced by humans Artificial glass is used to make windows, lenses, bottles, and a variety of other products.
Brick;What property does the brick have?
Being an element that withstands high temperatures during its manufacture, brick is a highly resistant and insulating material, both acoustic and thermal. Today in the market we can find different types of bricks depending on their function to resist breaking.
Fatigue; This is the ability to resist repeated stress cycles and tension.
(For example )Wire; flexing it repeatedly breaks easily.
Strength: strength is the property that enables a metal to resist deformation under load. The ultimate strength is the maximum strain a material can withstand. Tensile strength is a measurement of the resistance to being pulled apart when placed in a tension load.A material can undergo three changes due to stress. It can stretch, it can get shorter, or it may divide into layers. The stress that causes a material to stretch is called tensile stress. The stress that causes a material to get shorther is called compressive stress, while the stress that causes a material to divide into layers is called shearing stress.
Copper; Copper is easily stretched, molded, and formed as it is a soft metal; it is resistant to corrosion; and conducts heat and electricity efficiently. It is reddish in color and has a metallic luster and, after silver, it is the element with the highest electrical and thermal conductivity.
Aluminium; Aluminum is used to make beverage cans, pots and pans, airplanes, the exterior of home walls and ceilings, and aluminum foil. Metallic aluminum powder is often used in explosives and fireworks.
Iron; It is a malleable metal, silver-gray in color and has magnetic properties (it is ferromagnetic at room temperature and atmospheric pressure). It is extremely hard and dense. It is found in nature as part of many minerals, including many oxides, and is rarely found free.
Bronze; Due to their mechanical and physical properties they are less brittle, their melting point is lower. They are excellent conductors of electricity and heat. Bronze alloys are less rigid than other metals, so they have the ability to accumulate less heat. Therefore, one of the main applications is the manufacture of springs, as industrial parts.
