I'm a metallurgy major... going to spend the rest of my life dealing with metals... And this discussion is the driest, most boring, intellectually clogged thing ever!

I can summarize metals in one sentence: Ductility and Strength are a trade-off, no "" \ or /!

Engineers arguing over the application of the word "strength" need a slap. I mean, the impact test for metal has Foot-lbs describing the force and Centimeters describing the test piece! THEY MIXED ENGLISH AND METRIC UNITS! For Pete's sake, I'm off to study for my test on extractive metallurgy...
