List of materials properties
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of materials properties. A material property is an intrinsic, often quantitative property of a material, usually with a unit that may be used as a metric of value to compare the benefits of one material versus another for a given engineering application. These properties may be compared by standardized tests, often developed by ASTM.
