Correct answer: A. Brass
- A. Brass
- B. Aluminium
- C. Copper
- D. Lead
Explanation
Brass has a strong tendency to harden during plastic deformation, so successive forming operations can rapidly increase its strength and reduce ductility. Lead is very soft and shows comparatively little work hardening.
