Mechanical Properties of Metal

The statement/statements is/are TRUE about the mechanical properties of metals.

• The properties that a material exhibits upon the application of forces.

• Deals with the behavior of metals when they are subjected to the external forces or loads.

• At room temperature, it is in solid form except for mercury.

• Determine the range of usefulness of a material and establish the service life that can be expected.

The ability of a material to deform, usually by stretching along its length. This property allows us to make wires.
