Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

Explanation:

Forging:

Forging may be defined as a metalworking process by which metals and alloys are plastically deformed to the desired shape by the application of a compressive force.

Different mechanical properties are:

  • Plasticity: It is the property of a material by virtue of which a material deforms permanently.
    • This property of the material is necessary for forging in stamping images on coins and in ornament work.
  • Elasticity: It is the property of a material by virtue of which it is able to regain its shape when the load is removed from it.
  • Ductility: It is the property of a material by virtue of which it can be drawn into wires.
  • Malleability: It is the property of a material by virtue of which it is able to flatten into thin sheets without cracking by a compressive force.
  • Strength: It is the property of a material by virtue of which it is able to resist any deformation under loading.
  • Hardness: It is resistance to penetration, scratching, abrasion or cutting.
  • Toughness: It is the ability of a material to withstand both plastic and elastic deformation.
    • It is the amount of energy a material can absorb before an actual fracture.
  • Brittleness: A material is brittle if when subjected to stress, it breaks without significant plastic deformation.
  • Fatigue: The ability of a material to fracture by means of progressive fracture under repeated cyclic stresses of an intensity considerably below the normal strength.
  • Creep: It is the permanent elongation of a component under a static load maintained for a period of time.
  • Impact strength: It is the ability of a material to withstand a suddenly applied load.
