The ELASTIC Range Means:
- The strain, or elongation over a unit length, will behave linearly (as in
y=mx +b) and thus predictable
- The material will return to its original shape once an applied load is removed
- The stress within the material is less than what is required to create a
plastic behavior (deform or stretch significantly without increasing stress)

Fatigue
The reduction of strength due to the repetitious

Corrosion Protection:
- Design to eliminate conditions favorable to corrosion
- You, a wire brush, and paint
- Cathodic Protection
- Charging the metal to slow/ stop reaction
with other elements
- Providing a sacrificial metal to give up ions
instead of the structure giving up ions (and
corroding)
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Testing that allows the inspection of metals for cracks and
abnormalities without destroying the item
