Impact strength

Dictionary

Yield strength describes the point at which a material remains permanently deformed. Once the material retains its elongation after the load is removed, the yield point is reached. The higher a material's yield strength, the more resistant it is to permanent deformation. Yield strength is usually measured in megapascals (MPa), and this is usually determined at the 0.2% yield strength (Rp 0.2), i.e., where the material has a permanent elongation of 0.2%.

Dictionary

Similar to resilience, strength is a measurement that describes the resistance to external stresses or forces. Strength can be determined using various parameters such as tensile strength or shear strength. Strength depends, among other things, on the chemical composition and manufacturing process.

Dictionary

The tensile strength describes the load-bearing capacity of a material until it breaks under tensile stress. In so-called tensile tests, the material is tested for tensile strength by stretching it until a break becomes apparent. The tensile strength is an important parameter for determining the resistance of the material under certain influences. It is measured in pascals (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
