The rapid decrease in tensile strength and increase in ductility of a wrought metal is seen in which stage of annealing ?

Correct answer: B. Recrystallisation stage

  • A. Recovery stage
  • B. Recrystallisation stage
  • C. Grain growth stage
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

Recrystallisation replaces the strained, elongated grains with new strain-free grains, causing a sharp fall in tensile strength and a marked rise in ductility. Recovery produces smaller property changes, while grain growth occurs after recrystallisation.
