The document summarizes key properties of steel: 1. A stress-strain curve reveals properties like Young's modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength by measuring deformation under increasing loads. 2. Steel is very durable and can withstand extreme conditions like high winds, storms, and difficult environments due to its resistance as a compound of iron and carbon. 3. Hardness measures resistance to indentation or abrasion and depends on properties like strength and toughness. Brittleness means a material breaks rather than deforms under stress.

stress–strain curve
1. A stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain.
2. 2. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the
deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined.
3. 3. These curves reveal many of the properties of a material such as the Young's
modulus, the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength.

Durability
steel is very durable. It can withstand extreme conditions. Since
steel is a compound metal that is made from iron and carbon, it is
highly resistant to most elements making it ideal for areas where
winds are high, where storms are frequent, and where conditions
are difficult. Steel is perfect for Arizona steel buildings because it
can stand up to the harsh winds and blowing sand that is common
in the area. Steel is perfect for just about any area because it can
withstand these extreme conditions without buckling or breaking.

Hardness
hardness is a measure of the resistance to localized plastic deformation induced by
either mechanical indentation or abrasion. Some materials (e.g. metals) are harder than
others (e.g. plastics, wood). 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. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness,
plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity

Brittleness
is a physical property, not a chemical one. A brittle
material will break or shatter when stressed, rather
than be deformed (bent, stretched, warped). This is
the case because in a tough material, the energy of
whatever stress is applied to it will go into
permanently deforming the material. Ex:-Copper,
aluminum, and steel are examples of ductile metals.
The opposite of ductility is brittleness, where a
material breaks when tensile stress is applied to
lengthen it. Examples of brittle materials include cast
iron, concrete, and some glass products.
