tensile properties

Tensile properties describe how a material behaves when it’s stretched or pulled until it breaks. Key aspects include its strength (how much pulling force it can withstand), ductility (how much it stretches before breaking), and toughness (its ability to absorb energy without fracturing). These properties help determine if a material is suitable for applications requiring stretching, such as cables or structural components. Understanding tensile properties ensures that materials can perform safely and reliably under forces that try to elongate or pull them apart.
