STRUCTURE-INSENSITIVE PROPERTIES
Due to different working and / or heat treatments during manufacture of a material ,
physical properties
do not have much variation from one specimen to another ,
even if their microstructures are
different This kind of is called (microstructure insensitive and associated with the
property are
-
.
properties of the atoms within the material and the forces between them .
Density and elastic modulus are the most important structure -
insensitive properties , along with
some electrical and thermal characteristics as well .
In comparison

the
majority of mechanical properties are
significantly affected by any changes in the
