Depends on the metal, generally yes.

Generally speaking, there is a change in elasticity with temperature - particularly for metals.

ELASTICITY is defined as the ratio of STRESS / STRAIN.

STRESS = force per unit area, and STRAIN = change in dimension (typically length).

Since most metals tend to expand somewhat when heated, a given stress level can be achieved by increasing the force as the cross-section increases. With the cross-section increasing as a result of temperature, the numerator of the ELASTICITY equation is increasing as well.

However, the range over which this phenomena occurs is somewhat limited; some materials have wider elasticity ranges than others. Also, the direction of the force must be taken into account - elasticity is not necessarily the same in all directions for a given material.

Yes, as the temperature of the metal increases, the bonds between the metal breaks or weakens therefore increasing the Elasticity of the Metal.

Depends on the temperature, hot temperatures usually make metals more pliable. The hotter it gets, the more the metal will turn into a liquid (this is 1000s of degrees C) Cold temperatures usually make metals more brittle. Depending on the metals this could occur in great degrees of change, or in just a few small degrees of change.

Direct proportionality. Increase in temperature results in an increase in elasticity.

Yes of course

Every property of something changes when the temperature changes.

Unless its a spring ... any normal temp w/o thermal enhancement to metal should not effect it greatly
