Default Screw question - most flexible ?

Take a normal screw and anneal it. Modern screws are hardened and so
rather brittle. Heat to a dull red and let it cool slowly, and you
will find you can bend it as you wish.


Does that apply to all types of screws, ie steel, brass, etc?

Thanks to everyone for the replies, most helpful. :-)
