Ductile Steel (e.g., Low Carbon Steel)

Exhibits a distinct elastic region, yield point, a plastic plateau, strain hardening, and necking before fracture. Highly ductile and tough.

What is happening now?

Elastic Region

Material deforms reversibly. Stress is directly proportional to strain (Hooke's Law applies). If the load is removed, the material returns exactly to its original shape. The bonds between atoms are stretched but not broken.

Microscopic View

Atoms are stretched uniformly like springs.
