from the metals. Explain how this void become a starting point of failure until the
metals is totally failed.
2. How the microstructure of metals effect the failure of metals?
3. Where’s the highest stress occur when the metals start to have tension failure? Why?
(draw this and paste the drawing in your Microsoft words or you can directly draw in
the Microsoft words)
4. Why metals are said to be the most safety and economically used in some application?
5. Briefly explain, 3 examples of testing that can be used to check the mechanical
properties of metals.

Tittle: Failure of metals
1. You need to produce one video failure of metals by using one wire from metals.
2. You need to have a foot long of wire mesh/galvanised steel wire (as shown in a Figure
1 below. You can find it in hardware or might be from your house.

Figure 1: Wire mesh/galvanised steel wire
