During the assembly of a metal aircraft framework, a technician uses a pneumatic hammer to strike the unheaded end of a solid metal rivet. The repeated impacts successfully flatten the end of the cylinder to form a permanent locking head without cracking or splintering the material. Which material property primarily allows the rivet to undergo this permanent deformation under compressive force?
- AHardness
- MalleabilityCevap
- CDuctility
- DElasticity
Cevap
The correct property is malleability.
Malleability is the physical property that allows a solid to bend or be hammered into other shapes without breaking. Because the pneumatic hammer applies compressive stress to flatten the rivet, malleability is the exact property required for this process.
