Mechanical Engineering Engineering Materials Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
  • A
    Mild steel
  • B
    Copper
  • C
    Nickel
  • D
    Aluminium

Answer

Correct Answer: Copper

Explanation

ConceptRoom-temperature ductility (elongation/reduction of area) is very high for copper; it is one of the most ductile common metals (exceeded mainly by noble metals like gold/silver). Mild steel, nickel, and aluminium are ductile as well, but copper generally shows the highest ductility among the listed options.
