Proportional limit
δp
MPa
During the stretching process, the maximum stress between the stress and strain is proportional to the strain. The maximum limit load Pp at this stage divided by the original cross-sectional area of the test bar is the proportional limit
1 kgf/mm2 = 9.80665MPa 1 MPa = 0.10197kgf/mm2 :PSI :lb/in2 KPSI = 1000PSI      =6.896MPa

Tensile modulus of elasticity
E
GPa
When the metal bears the tensile load, in the elastic range, when the stress is proportional to the strain, the proportionality coefficient is the tensile elastic modulus
1 kgf/mm2 = 0.0098067GPa 1GPa = 101.97162kgf/mm2
Shear elastic modulus
G
GPa
When the metal is torsion tested in the elastic range, the external force and deformation increase proportionally, that is, when the stress is proportional to the strain, this proportionality factor is called the shear elastic modulus.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yield strength (Conditional yield strength)
δ0.2
MPa
During the stretching process, the stress obtained by dividing the load at the specified value of the original gauge length when the plastic deformation amount of the gauge length part is generally defined by the original cross-sectional area is called the yield strength or conditional yield strength. Generally, the specified value is 0.2% of the original gauge length of the tensile specimen, which is expressed by δ0.2
 
Compressive yield strength (Conditional yield strength)
δ-0.2
MPa
In the compression test, the stress obtained when the residual compression of the gauge portion reaches the value specified in the original gauge length divided by the original cross-sectional area is called compressive yield strength or conditional compressive yield strength. The generally specified value is 0.2% of the original gauge length of the compressed sample. Since the direction of the force is opposite to the tensile, the compression yield strength is usually expressed by δ-0.2
 
Shear strength
 
MPa
When the specimen is sheared, the maximum load on the shear plane divided by the original cross-sectional area is called the shear strength. It indicates the maximum ability of the material to resist damage under the action of shear force.

MPa
Under the action of a unidirectional uniform tensile load, the maximum load of the material at break is divided by the stress obtained by the original cross-sectional area.
 
Fatigue limit

When the material is stretched, after the sample is broken, the percentage of the length of the gauge length added to the original gauge length. Is the elongation when the gauge length is 5 times the diameter, is the elongation when the gauge length is 10 times the diameter

Impact toughness

J/cm2 or kJ/m2
With a U-shaped notch standard sample of a certain size and shape, when the specified type of testing machine is broken by an impact load, the impact energy consumed per unit cross-sectional area at the groove of the sample. It represents the resistance of metallic materials to impact loads.
1 kgf•m/cm2 = 98.0665kJ/m2 1kJ/m2 = 0.010197kgf/cm2
Brinell hardness
HBS
 
Press the hardened steel ball of a certain diameter into the surface of the sample and hold it under a specified load for a certain period of time. The Brinell hardness of the quotient surface material obtained by dividing the indentation area by its load. The calculation formula is HBS = 2P / лD [D – (D2-d2) 1/2] P——Load D——Indenter diameter, mm; d——Indentation diameter, mm
Usually the hardness value is directly checked from the measured indentation diameter
Rockwell hardness
HRB HRF
 
On the Rockwell hardness machine, a hardened steel ball with a diameter of 1.58 mm is used as the indenter, and the load is the hardness value obtained from the 980N test. Use 1.58mm hardened steel ball as the indenter, the load is the Rockwell hardness value measured by 588N
HRB is often used to measure the hardness value of aluminum alloy after quenching and aging. HRF is used to measure the hardness of aluminum alloy forgings
Micro Vickers hardness
HV
 
Use a diamond quadrangular pyramid indenter with an angle of 136o to press in the sample with a load of 0.2kgf or less (usually expanded to 1kgf), and the hardness value of the material is expressed by the load per unit area. The instrument is equipped with a metallographic microscope, which is used to measure the microstructure of the alloy and the hardness value of the extremely thin surface layer
