Lead alone is not used in storing equipment, because it________________?
Correct answer: C. Is having low creep strength
- A. Is very costly
- B. Corrodes easily
- C. Is having low creep strength
- D. None of these
Explanation
Lead has poor mechanical strength and low creep resistance, so it can deform slowly under sustained load. It is nevertheless useful as a corrosion-resistant lining rather than as a self-supporting construction material.
