How are strength, stiffness, and hardness expressed?

I am translating an abstract of a paper, and one of the sentences in it, which states that \"calculation methods for the strength and stiffness of supports for elevated pressure pipelines are provided,\" made me think about this question: how should the terms strength, stiffness, and hardness be expressed appropriately? My current thoughts are: hardness (derived from the Brinell hardness tester), stiffness or rigidity, and strength. Please help me clarify these concepts. Also, is it okay to translate “raw material” as stock and “half-finished product” as half-finished product?
Blank (a semi-finished product that still needs further processing; a raw material); semifinished product; {machining} blank; {metallurgy} bloom; slug. Phrases: 1. Blank mounting; 2. Blank dimension. A semi-finished product is nothing other than this semifinished product. Strength, stiffness, and hardness strongly support your claim!
Hardness, stiffness, and strength are as the original poster said. Stiffness mainly refers to the verification of deformation under stress, while strength refers to the verification of stress and strain.
A semi-finished product is also known as a semifinished product, or semi-product; it seems that semi-product is the more common term.
The rough translation is really authentic; it reminds me of that book.
