Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed. It is not a form of energy. Mechanical energy is needed to deform the material which stores this partially as potential (mechanical) energy, some is transformed to heat energy, which dissipates, and some is lost to entropy, as in all energy conversions. When the potential (mechanical) energy is released it can be used to drive an electrical generator to produce electricity, until the material returns to its original shape.
When a load is applied to a material it deforms. Elasticity is defined as the ability of a material to return completely to its original state after a load is removed. For example, the reason an elastic band is elastic is that it will return to its original dimensions after being stretched and released. Modulus of elasticity is the measure of this ability and is experimentally determined by measuring how much a material deforms when a given load is applied. A high modulus material is very stiff. A low modulus material is more "rubbery". Engineering calculation of deflection of a design element use Modulus of Elasticity (aka Lambda) an an input.
The ability of a material to bounce back after being disturbed is called elasticity. It refers to the ability of a material to regain its original shape and size after deformation or stress is applied to it and then removed. This property is commonly observed in materials like rubber or springs.
In science, elasticity is the tendency of a material to return to its original size and shape when it is released from being stretched or compressed. By this definition steel is more elastic than rubber.
the rod will simply stick to the material being welded!

If you stretch a rubber band then release it, it will return to its original shape. That is by definition elastic strain. Anything that returns to its original shape after being affected by force underwent elastic strain. If it is permanently deformed (ie you bent a paperclip out of place and it wont return to its original shape) then it passes the elastic strain region and suffered plastic strain.
A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold, forged shape, and which returns to that shape after being deformed by applying heat. This material is a lightweight, solid state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape memory alloys have applications in industries including medical and aerospace.
SMA stands for Shaped Memory Alloys. SMA have the property of "remembering" a shape even after being mechanically deformed. After deformation applied heat restores the material to its original shape. An SMA actuator uses this property of the the material to initiate some kind of mechanical motion. A typical application is a spring that once heated pushes on an assembly to make a subsequent motion happen.
Because polymers are formed. Polymers have strong covalent bonds. A strong covalent bond increases viscosity and the material will resist being deformed.
Elastic substances return to their original shape after being deformed. Hooke's Law tells us that the force an elastic object, such as a spring, uses to reinstate itself to an original length is relative to, but in the opposite direction, of the length the spring is stretched.
Hephaestus was described as being exceedingly ugly and deformed.
Mewtwo Strikes Back, is the original, and first movie within the Pokemon series. Mewtwo returns is technically the sequel to Mewtwo Strikes back, being the second movie(?) starring Mewtwo.
