externally applied forces without breakdown or yielding
Strength: When external forces are applied on a metal, breaking (brittle metal) or yielding (ductile metal) may occur. Strength is the property of a metal by which it resists external force without breaking or yielding.
Toughness
Strength:
When external forces are applied on a metal, breaking (brittle metal) or yielding (ductile metal) may occur. Strength is the property of a metal by which it resists external force without breaking or yielding.
Stiffness:
When an external force is applied on a metal, it develops an internal resistance. The internal resistance developed per unit area is called stress. Stiffness is the ability of a metal to resist deformation under stress.
Toughness:
When a huge external force is applied on a metal, the metal will experience fracture. Toughness is the ability of a metal to resist fracture.
Brittleness
Brittleness is a property of material which breaks with little or no deformation.
Plasticity
Plasticity:
Plasticity is the property by which a metal retains its deformation permanently, when the external force applied on it is removed.
Examples: forming, forging, hammering
Ductility:
Ductility is the property by which a metal can be drawn into thin wires. It is determined by percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area of a metal.
Malleability:
Malleability is the property by which a metal can be rolled into thin sheets. Highly malleable metals (like Mild Steel) are extensively used in making sheet metals.

Toughness:
When a huge external force is applied on a metal, the metal will experience fracture. Toughness is the ability of a metal to resist fracture. The ability of a material to resist fracture due to high impact loads, is called toughness.
Elasticity
Elasticity:
Whenever an external force is applied on a metal, it deforms. Elasticity is the property by virtue of which a metal regains its original shape when the external force applied on it is removed.
Plasticity: Plasticity is the property by which a metal retains its deformation permanently, when the external force applied on it is removed.
