Cast iron has____________________?

Correct answer: D. Its elastic limit very close to ultimate breaking strength

  • A. High ductility
  • B. High malleability
  • C. Very high tensile strength
  • D. Its elastic limit very close to ultimate breaking strength

Explanation

Cast iron is brittle and undergoes very little plastic deformation, so its elastic limit lies close to its failure or ultimate breaking strength. It consequently has poor ductility and malleability and relatively low tensile strength.
