Re:Super-hard metal 'four times tougher than titanium' by ehsanu1 on Monday July 25, 2016 @12:28AM (#12156470)
You are correct, but the statement you're quoting can be easily corrected: replace "elasticity" with "The elastic limit of a material". The elastic limit is also conventionally called the "yield strength".

"Plastic limit" is not a real term, but if it were, it might be a synonym for "ultimate tensile strength". There's also compressive strength and shear strength.
