Elastic
Returns to original shape
1 of 10
Stiff
Requires a large force to produce a small deformation
2 of 10
Brittle
Cracks and breaks without any plastic deformation beforehand
3 of 10
Plastic
Remains deformed when the load is removed
4 of 10
Durable
Properties do not worsen with repeated loading and unloading
5 of 10
Tough
Can absorb a lot of energy from impacts without/before breaking, even while deforming plastically
6 of 10
Ductile
Can be deformed plastically under tension, can be pulled into a longer shape
7 of 10
Strong
Means a large force is needed to break it, though this will depend on its size
8 of 10
Malleable
Can be deformed plastically under compression; can be hammered into a sheet
9 of 10
Hard
Not readily scratched or indented
