The property of a material that fractures when subjected to stress but has a little tendency to deform before rupture
Conductivity Phy Properties
The property of a material to conduct heat or electricity
Creep Phy Properties
The tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stresses
Density Phy Properties
The mass per unit volume of a material
Ductility Phy Properties
The ability of a material to be drawn or plastically deformed without fracture
