structural materials

The resistance of a material to breaking under tension

The ability of a material to resist deformation

Capability of being shaped or extended by hammering, forging, etc.

The ability of a material to have its shape changed without losing strength or breaking

The property of a material that fractures when subjected to stress but has a little tendency to deform before rupture

The measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material

The action of becoming larger or more extensive

The ability of an object or material to resume its normal shape after being stretched or compressed

Ability to resist tearing/breaking when bent/stretched

How easy a material will melt with heat or the ease with which a material will bond with another

Mass per unit of volume

Processes where metals are plastically deformed above their recrystallization temperature

The process of strengthening metal by changing its shape without the use of heat

A forming process in which we force a metal (either hot or cold) through a die

A metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired mechanical property

The process in which metals are formed and shaped using compressive forces

The process of forming a shape from a metal sheet, coil or tube, using a press tool or stamping dies

A forging process in which the hammer is raised and then it is dropped on the workpiece to deform it into a desired shape

Metal drawn out into a wire or bar while cold

A metal forming process in which a work piece, of a certain length and cross section, is forced to flow through a die of a smaller cross-sectional area, thus forming the work to the new cross section

Aluminum

Copper

Manganese

Silicon

Magnesium

Magnesium and Silicon

Zinc

Other Elements

Process of heating certain aluminum alloys to allow the alloying element to mix with the base metal (Soaked/Bath)

Metal is re-heated and allowed to soak from precipitation/shower for specific period (Develops into hard, strength, and corrosion resistant)

Any metal that is primarily composed of iron and has magnetic properties

The ability to resist opposing forces

The ability of a joint to withstand distortion

A metal that can exist in one lattice structure, depending on temperature
