Vigorous vibration at room temperature
As temperature is lowered, atoms of the material vibrate less rigorously,
a larger applied stress is required to tear
dislocations from their atmosphere of
alloying atoms.

2.4 Hardness and ductility
Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of
permanent shape change when a compressive force is applied. Some materials, such as metal, are harder than others. Macroscopic hardness is generally
characterized by strong intermolecular bonds, but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore, there are different measurements of hardness:
scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness.
2.4 Hardness and ductility
ο§ Scratch hardness
Scratch hardness tests are used to determine the hardness of a material to scratches and abrasion.

ο§ Indentation hardness
Indentation hardness tests are used in mechanical engineering to
determine the hardness of a material to deformation.

2.4 Hardness and ductility
In materials science, ductility is a solid material's ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material's ability to be stretched into a wire. Malleability, a similar property, is a material's ability to deform under
compressive stress; this is often characterized by the material's ability to form a
thin sheet by hammering or rolling.
2.4 Hardness and ductility

At low temperatures some metals that would be ductile at room temperature become brittle. This is known as a ductile to brittle transition.

2.5 Elastic modulus
"Young's modulus" or modulus of elasticity, is a number that measures an
object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically (i.e., non-
permanently) when a force is applied to it.

ο§ Shear modulus, G
In materials science, shear modulus or modulus of rigidity, denoted by G, or
sometimes S or ΞΌ, is defined as the ratio of shear stress to the shear strain.

2.5 Elastic modulus
ο§ Bulk modulus, B
The bulk modulus (K or B) of a substance measures the substance's resistance to uniform compression. It is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase to the resulting relative decrease of the volume.
where Ο is density and dP/dΟ denotes the derivative of pressure with respect to
density. The inverse of the bulk modulus gives a substance's compressibility.

ο§ Relations between elastic modulus
For homogeneous isotropic materials simple relations exist between elastic constants (Young's modulus E, shear modulus G, bulk modulus K, and
Poisson's ratio Ξ½) that allow calculating them all as long as two are known

increased.
