Clues

  • a material developed through the invention of new or improved processes, for example as a result of man-made materials or human intervention. (6, 8)
  • a material which when heated undergoes a chemical change whereby the molecules form rigid cross links. Cannot be reheated and reshaped, even at very high temperatures. (13, 7)
  • associated with the actual make-up or structure of the material. (8, 10)
  • changes the chemical composition of the surface of low carbon steel so it absorbs more carbon and increase surface hardness. (11)
  • materials which at room temperature can be deformed under pressure, and then upon release of the pressure will return to their original shape. (9)
  • rapid cooling of a heat-treated metal. (9)
  • the ability to absorb impact force without fracture. (9)
  • the ability to resist stretching or pulling forces. (7, 8)
  • the ability to withstand being crushed or shortened by pushing forces. (11, 8)
  • the set of standard sizes in which materials are available, as well as the format e.g. powders, granules, sheets etc. (5, 5)
