_____________ of a material results, when its strength is increased & ductility is decreased by heating at a relatively lower temperature after cold working?

Correct answer: C. Strain ageing

  • A. Solid solution hardening
  • B. Screw dislocation
  • C. Strain ageing
  • D. Twinning

Explanation

Strain ageing occurs when a cold-worked material is heated moderately, allowing interstitial atoms such as carbon or nitrogen to lock dislocations. Strength and hardness rise while ductility falls, unlike solid-solution hardening or twinning.
