Toughness in materials science and metallurgy refers to a material's capacity for energy absorption and plastic deformation without fracture. The strength with which a substance resists rupturing is its toughness. The amount of energy per unit volume that a material can hold before rupturing is one way to define material toughness. This toughness measurement is distinct from fracture toughness, which indicates the capacity of materials to support loads despite faults. A material's resistance to fracture under stress is another definition of it. Strength and ductility must be balanced in order to be tough. The area beneath the stress-strain curve is a measure of toughness. A material has to be both strong and ductile in order to be tough. For instance, brittle materials with low ductility but high strength (like ceramics) are not tough; similarly, exceptionally ductile materials with high strengths are also not tough. A substance needs to be resilient to both high stresses and high strains. In general, toughness and strength refer to how much energy a material can withstand before rupturing and how much force they can support, respectively.
