It is one of the indexes of metal strength.
Tensile strength of metal sheet.
The ultimate tensile strength uts of a material is the limit stress at which the material actually breaks with a sudden release of the stored elastic energy.
In other steels and in nonferrous metals this phenomenon is not observed.

It is the maximum stress that the sheet metal material is subjected to before pulling out.
Tensile strength elong.
Both elastic and plastic deformation occur during the forming process.
The ultimate tensile strength of a material is an intensive property.
However depending on the material it may be dependent on other factors such as the preparation of the specimen the presence or otherwise of surface defects and the temperature of the test environment and material.

Yield strength and ultimate tensile strength are not directly related to formability however the closer the magnitude of the two stresses the more work hardened the metal.
Therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.

A work hardened metal exhibits lower ductility which reduces its ability to stretch.
