(Sibolinao) Midterm Assignment 1

The document defines and describes various properties of metals including strength, hardness, malleability, ductility, brittleness, conductivity, thermal expansion, elasticity, toughness, fusibility, and density. Strength is determined by the metal's composition and includes tensile, yield, and bearing strengths. Hardness is a metal's resistance to cutting or abrasion. Malleability and ductility refer to a metal's ability to deform without cracking. Brittleness, the opposite, is a tendency to break under stress. Conductivity allows metals to transmit heat or electricity. Thermal expansion means the metal expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Elasticity is the ability to return to original shape after bending or stretching. T

PROPERTIES OF A METAL:

STRENGTH
 The percentage of parent metal and other elements used to make
an alloy determines the strength of the metal.

a. TENSILE STRENGTH
- The percentage of parent metal and other elements used
to make an alloy determines the strength of the metal
Tension is the force produced when a piece of sheet
metal is pulled from both ends.

b. YIELD STRENGTH
- The ability of a metal to withstand deformation is
referred to as its yield strength.

c. BEARING STRENGTH
- Bearing strength is a joint's ability to withstand
crushing or excessive compressive distortion.

HARDNESS
 The ability of a metal to resist cutting, penetration, or
abrasion is referred to as its hardness.

MALLEABILITY
 The ability of a material to be bent, formed, or shaped without
cracking or breaking is referred to as malleability.

DUCTILITY
 Ductility refers to a metal's ability to be drawn into wire
stock, extrusions, or rods.

BRITTLENESS
 Brittleness is the opposite of ductility and malleability, and
describes a material's tendency to break or shatter when
stressed.

CONDUCTIVITY
 Conductivity is the property of a metal that allows it to carry
heat or electricity. A metal is said to be thermally con ductive
if it can transmit heat.

THERMAL EXPANSION
 Thermal expansion refers to a metal's ability to expand when
heated and contract when cooled.

ELASTICITY
 Elasticity is the tendency of a metal to return to its original
shape after normal stretching and bending.

TOUGHNESS
 Toughness refers to a material's ability to withstand tearing
or breaking when bent or stretched.

FUSIBILITY
 Fusibility is defined as a metal's ability to be joined by
heating and melting.

DENSITY
 The term density refers to a material's mass per unit volume,
and it is used throughout this section to compar e the weights
of various metals.
