What do you mean of strength of metals?
Tensile strength is the maximum amount of stretching or pulling a metal can withstand before it fails or is permanently damaged. Essentially, tensile strength is the measure of how much tension the metal can resist. It serves as a good point of reference for how a metal part will perform in an application.
How does metal react to tension?
All metals have a tensile strength. The strength varies with the metal and with such factors as temperature and additives.
Does heat reduce the tensile strength of metal?
Heating a metal decreases the tensile strength and increases ductility
What is a metal said to ductile?
when a metal can sustain high tensile pulls commonly knows as tensile stress, with breaking or rupture, the metal is said to be ductile
When does Necking of a metal occur under tensile stress?
after ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
What metal alloy has over 300 ksi tensile strength?
high tensile stainless steel
What is a ductile metal?
A ductile metal is a metal that experiences noticeable deformation under tensile loading.
Is tensile strength dependent on the size of the material?
No. The tensile strength comes from the grain inside the metal and the ingredients used to make a certain metal. Lengths are determined by tensile strength and material advised to be used for that specific use.
How would you describe a metal that has a yield strength and tensile strength that are the same?
Brittle
Is copper considered a strong metal?
Yes, copper is considered a strong metal due to its high tensile strength and durability.
What demonstrates ductility?
Ductility is demonstrated in metal by its ability to stretch under tensile strength.
How are hardness and tensile strength related?
There are tables that give you the Tensile Strength based on a Rockwell Hardness test of a specimen of metal. For example: Rc of 54 is a Steel of TSU = 300,000 psi. Google the internet for Rockwell Hardness Table.
