Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which property of steel is primarily responsible for its high tensile strength?
  • Step 1: Understand what tensile strength means. It is the ability of a material to withstand being pulled apart without breaking.
  • Step 2: Learn about ductility. Ductility is the ability of a material to stretch or deform when a force is applied.
  • Step 3: Recognize that steel is both strong and ductile. This means it can handle a lot of force without breaking.
  • Step 4: Realize that ductility helps steel to absorb energy and deform instead of breaking, which contributes to its high tensile strength.
