The resistance of a material to any form of plastic deformation without rupture.

The property that allows a material to return to its original shape after the removal of a load.

The ability of a material to undergo large plastic deformations under compressive loads.

They allow heat and electrical energy to pass through them quickly and efficiently.

They resist the flow of heat and electricity, causing energy to move through them very slowly.

They only conduct heat, not electricity.

They cannot transfer heat or electricity unless they are heated to extremely high temperatures.

Low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity

High ductility

High density and low modulus of elasticity

High toughness and low hardness
