When choosing a materials for a project/product it is important to know the 'Working properties' in order to select a suitable material to ensure the product works correctly without problems. For example considering how much weight (compression) will the product have to bare, will it bend?, the toughness etc.
Other working which i am aware of are properties include - Hardness, Bending strength, ductility, Malleability, and corrosion......... ....
I will need to look at the working properties of materials when creating my own products to ensure I choose the appropriate materials as I mentioned in R1. I selected Cheap pine which was not appropriate for the needs of my product as it was too soft and therefore dented and marked easily.
I too a screen shot of materials working properties from the GCSE Bitesize website as I thought it would be useful to have words and definition to refer to when i am considering a material for my projects.
