Question

In drawing operation, the metal flows due to:

• A. Ductility
• B. Work hardening
• C. Plasticity
• D. Shearing

Hint:

In drawing, plasticity enables the material to flow and deform permanently under applied stress without fracturing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In drawing operations, metal flows plastically under the applied forces.
Plasticity is the property of the material that allows it to undergo permanent deformation without breaking.
During drawing, the metal is subjected to tensile forces, causing it to elongate and deform plastically.
Ductility is related to plasticity, but specifically refers to the material's ability to undergo significant deformation before fracture.
Work hardening occurs as the material is deformed, which increases its strength and resistance to further deformation, but it's not the primary reason for the metal flow in drawing.
Shearing, on the other hand, refers to cutting operations, not the flow of material in drawing.
