Best Answer

Until a metal reaches its elastic limit, it is undergoing elastic deformation. This means that the metal will regain its original dimensions when unloaded. Upon exceeding the elastic limit, the metal will become plastic and will not regain its original dimensions.

A metal undergoes plastic flow when it experiences large deformations while loaded in the plastic region.
