1) Ductility: Ability to be drawn easily into wire form. Use Tensile test to measure % elongation and contraction of area.
2) Brittleness: Lack of ductility (e.g. Glass). A brittle metal does not have a plastic region. It will deform slightly from original shape and then fracture.
3) Malleability: Ability to be easily beaten or rolled into plate form.
4) Elasticity: Ability to return to original dimensions following deformation (e.g. Rubber).
5) Plasticity: If a stressed material remains strained upon removal of stress = material is plastic love.
6) Hardness: Ability to resist deformation due to impact, erosion or wear.
7) Strength: Ability to carry load.
8) Toughness: Ability to sustain variable load conditions without failure.
