Isotropy: the property that physical properties do not change with the direction of measurement. That is, the performance measured in different directions of the object shows the same value. If all gases, liquids (except liquid crystals) and amorphous objects are isotropic, then polycrystals are isotropic. For example, although metals and rocks have no regular geometry and have the same physical properties in all directions, they are essentially crystals and have a certain melting point because they are composed of many particles. Because the arrangement of grains in spatial orientation is irregular, the whole metal is isotropic.
The mechanical strength, elasticity and hardness of crystal and amorphous are compared by experiments.
