Addition of nickel to copper improves its_________________?
Correct answer: D. Hardness
- A. Machinability
- B. Ductility
- C. Strength
- D. Hardness
Explanation
Nickel strengthens the copper lattice and increases resistance to deformation, so copper-nickel alloys are harder than pure copper. Its major benefits are strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance rather than improved machinability.
