____ is the point in low and medium carbon steels at which the metal begins to stretch when force (stress) is applied and after which it will not return to its original length.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The yield point is the point at which a material begins to deform plastically, meaning it will stretch when force is applied, but will not return to its original length after the force is removed. It is a critical property in determining the strength and ductility of a material. Elongation is a measure of how much a material stretches before breaking, and minimum tensile strength and Charpy V notch are different properties altogether.
