A hot short metal is ________ .

A.

brittle when cold

B.

brittle when hot

C.

brittle under all conditions

D.

ductile at high temperature

Answer ( Option B)

brittle when hot

Solution

Hot short metals are those which become brittle at hot working temperature. If a material is hot short, it means that the material is prone to cracking when its temperature is close to its melting point.

Hence the correct option is (B).

&Key Points:-

●Hot shortness is a tendency for some alloys to separate along grain boundaries when stressed at temperature near melting point.

●This is due to high sulphur content.
