Correct option is A
Hammers are generally made from
drop-forged carbon steel due to its
high strength, durability, and resistance to impact and deformation. The drop-forging process involves heating the carbon steel and shaping it under high-pressure hammering, which enhances the material's strength by refining the grain structure. Carbon steel provides the necessary hardness to withstand repeated impacts without chipping or cracking.
Material Properties of Carbon Steel:
· High hardness and toughness.
· Good wear resistance.
· Resistant to deformation under high-impact forces.
Drop-Forging Process:
· Involves shaping the steel by hammering it into a die at high temperatures.
· Increases the density and strength of the material by aligning the grain structure.
Parts of a Hammer:
Head: Made of hardened carbon steel.
Handle: Made of wood, fiberglass, or steel, designed to absorb shock and provide grip.
Types of Hammers: Common hammers include claw hammers, ball peen hammers, sledgehammers, and mallets.
