A dent by definition is beyond the elastic limit.

    Andrew, your implication is that if it doesn't return to it's shape instantly, it is beyond its yield strength. I used to think that before that dent disappeared. Obviously it was somewhere between a dent and the elastic limits of the metal.

You do not understand the nature of the crystalline structure of metals.
