5267 Corrosion resistance in sea water

Resistance to corrosive action in environments where it comes in contact with seawater.

 

5270 Wear resistance

Wear is a phenomenon in which a metal surface in relative motion is subjected to mechanical scratching, metallic adhesion, etc., which together cause wear and tear on the surface.

 

5280 Fatigue strength

The property of resisting fracture caused by repetitive stress.

 

5281 Thermal fatigue strength

The property of a material to withstand the fracture caused by repeated thermal stresses resulting from temperature changes, which is called thermal fatigue.
