e. Be rolled into the desired shape without breaking. - correct answer ✔✔a
Malleability property of material is that property which allows the material to be:
a. Be twisted a very large amount before breaking
b. Be rolled to a desired shape without breaking
c. Resist change in shape under an applied load
d. Be heated to liquid state and poured into a mould
e. Be lengthen without breaking. - correct answer ✔✔b

A Brinell hardness number of "65 HB 10/500/25" means:
a. That the material tested can handle a load of 65 kN applied across the entire length of the material
without failure
b. That a load of 65 kg was applied for 10 seconds to a 500 mm length of material and it showed at
deformation of 25 N
c. That a Brinell hardness of 65 was obtained using a 10 mm in diameter hardened steel ball with a 500
kg load applied for a period of 25 seconds
d. That a Brinell hardness number of 65 was obtained when a 500 kg load was applied for 10 seconds to
a 25 mm in diameter hardened steel ball
e. This number is used as a reference to find the hardness of the material on a Brinell Hardness Chart. -
