What is elongation at break?
Elongation at break measures how much a material can stretch before it fractures. Expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length, it is a key indicator of ductility and toughness.

What is fastening torque
Fastening torque refers to the rotational force applied to tighten a fastener, typically measured in Newton-metres (N·m) or pound-force inches (lbf·in). The correct torque value ensures adequate clamping without overstressing components.
