In case of brasses, with decreasing zinc percentage and increasing copper percentage, its _____________ increases ?

Correct answer: A. Percentage elongation

  • A. Percentage elongation
  • B. Brinell hardness
  • C. Tensile strength
  • D. All A, B & C

Explanation

Reducing zinc and increasing copper changes brass toward a more ductile, copper-rich composition, so percentage elongation increases. Higher zinc contents generally increase strength and hardness but reduce ductility.
