Question
In a stress-strain curve for a ductile metal, the region between yield point and ultimate tensile strength is called:
- AElastic region
- BFracture point
- CPlastic region (work-hardening region)Correct
- DProportional region
Correct answer
Plastic region (work-hardening region)
Explanation
Beyond the yield point, permanent deformation occurs. The metal work-hardens until the ultimate tensile strength, after which necking and fracture occur.
