Answer:

No.

Materials which obeys Hook's law are called elastic material.

Elastic material are material which return to their original shape and size after force deforming them is removed.

Answer:

Hooke’s law can be applied to all materials which come back to original shape upon withdrawal of the load. It is applicable to all materials which follow the linearity of stress and strain in the elastic limit. Any object made of steel or aluminum or any other metals that follows the stress-strain linearity in the elastic zone uses Hooke’s law.
