Define ductility; plasticity; hardness strength.

1 Answer

Answer :

Definition:

1) Ductility

 Ductility is the ability of a material to be deformed plastically without fracture under tensile strength.

 Ductility is the property of material by which materials can be drawn out into fine wire without fracture.

2) Plasticity

 The ability of a material to deform under load and retain its new shape when the load is removed.

3) Hardness strength

 It is the resistance of a material to plastic deformation-penetration , scratching , abrasion or cutting.

 The ability of a material to resist wear or abrasion and resist penetration.
