Question

The amount of strain that the material sustains before failure is a property which is called as ductility of the material.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in exam.

This key question is from Relationship between Tensile and Shear Yield Stress in section Types of Die & Metal Forming Processes of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

Explanation: When a material is subjected to a load, then the amount of strain that the material sustains before failure is an important property which is called as ductility of the material. This property is very useful in manufacturing of machine products which works more dynamically than statically. The ductility is generally measured in terms of its area reduction.
