Magnetism
Malleability – The ability to withstand deformation.
Ductility – The ability to be drawn out.
Toughness – The ability to withstand sudden impact.
Elasticity – The ability to flex and bend.
Plasticity – The ability to be shaped permanently.
Hardness – The ability to resist wear, indentation or deformation.
Durability – The ability to withstand wear and tear, weathering or deterioration.
Stability – The ability to resist changes in size and shape due to its environment.
Strength – Tensile, Compressive, Bending, Shear and Torsional.
