Question

question 1-32
__________ is the property of a material to resist permanent indentation.
creep strength
tensile strength
fracture toughness
hardness

Explanation:

Hardness is defined as a material's ability to resist permanent indentation. Creep strength is related to a material's resistance to slow - time dependent deformation under stress. Tensile strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand while being stretched. Fracture toughness is a measure of a material's ability to resist crack propagation.

Answer:

D. hardness
