3 To understand and describe how materials deform(elongate, compress, twist) or break as a function of applied load, time, temperature, and other conditions we need first to discuss standard test methods and standard language for mechanical properties of materials. 3

19 The yield strength and tensile strength vary with prior thermal and mechanical treatment, impurity levels, etc. This variability is related to the behavior of dislocations in the material. But elastic moduli are relatively insensitive to these effects. The yield and tensile strengths and modulus of elasticity decrease with increasing temperature, ductility increases with temperature.

28 Hardness Hardness is a measure of the material s resistance to localized plastic deformation (e.g. dent or scratch) A qualitative Moh s scale, determined by the ability of a material to scratch another material: from 1 (softest= talc) to 10 (hardest = diamond). Different types of quantitative hardness test has been designed (Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, etc.). Usually a small indenter (sphere, cone, or pyramid) is forced into the surface of a material under conditions of controlled magnitude and rate of loading. The depth or size of indentation is measured. The tests somewhat approximate, but popular because they are easy and non-destructive (except for the small dent). 28

31 Both tensile strength and hardness may be regarded as degree of resistance to plastic deformation. Hardness is proportional to the tensile strength but note that the proportionality constant is different for different materials. 31

This material is not good for forming operation. 2. Elastic and perfect plastic Fig 1.17 b: This material has stiffness defined by (E). Once the yield strength (Y) is reached, the material deforms plastically at the same stress level, flow curve K=Y and n=0. Example, lead at room temperature, material when heated to a high temperature under melting point temperatures. 3. Elastic and strain hardening Fig 1.17 c: This material obeys Hook's low in the elastic region and reach yield strength Y and then deformed by a flow curve which K<Y and n#0, example, ductile material.
