Question

For wire drawing operation, the work material should be-
1. Ductile
2. Tough
3. Malleable
4. Resilient

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Ductile

Concept:

Malleability	The ability of the material to deform to a greater extent before signs of crack appear when it is subjected to a compressive force. It  is the property of a material by virtue of which a material can be rolled or hammered into thin sheets
Hardness	Hardness is a measure of a metal's ability to withstand scratching, wear, and abrasion, indentation by harder bodies.
Resilience	It is defined as the capacity of a strained body for doing work on the removal of the straining force. This property is essential for machine components which are required to withstand impact loads.
Ductility	The capacity of a material to undergo deformation under tension without fracture in the material that property of a body is known as Ductility. E.g. Wire Drawing, etc.
