Q

BONUS:

Elasticity is the ability of metal to regain its original shape after temporary deformation under external force. Plasticity is the ability to retain the deformation permanently even after the load is removed.

The amount of elastic deformation is very small while plastic deformation is relatively the same.
During the elastic deformation, atoms of metals are temporarily displaced from their original position but return back when the load is removed. During the plastic deformation, atoms of metal are permanently displaced from their original positions and take up new positions.

For majority if materials, the stress-strain relationship is linear in elastic range and non-linear is plastic strange.

Elasticity is an important consideration in machine tool components while plasticity is desirable for components made by press working operations.
