Mechanical Behavior of Metals and Alloys
摘要
If a material component is required to carry a load during service, we must be fully aware of its mechanical properties. These properties may include hardnessHardness, tensile/compressive properties (strength, ductilityDuctility, and modulus), fracture toughnessFracture toughness, wearWear, creepCreep, and fatigueFatigue resistance. This chapter discusses some of these properties, starting with hardnessHardness.
