[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 11256834, member: 116684"] Theohetically, every metal will eventually snap. Even the most ductile metals have a rupture point eventually. Think about it, after the elastic zone you have the plastic zone, then what? Rupture. Where you get into a grey area is the semantics used, particularly "snap" and "bend." Technically speaking yes, they'll yield before they rupture, so you could say they'll bend before snapping. I don't think there's a material out there that won't snap eventually. There's a fixed ultimate strength, so you just need to exceed that. Of course that's assuming I'm understanding correctly. It's a bit of a strange argument. [/QUOTE]
