I want to ask this question from Classification of Metal Forming Processes in section Forming Process of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

The explanation: In the metal forming processes, formability is an essential mechanical property which is defined as the ability of sheet metal or any material to undergo shape change without occurring of any failures like tearing or necking in the metal part. This property is vital and must be present in the material to be used for the metal forming process.
