It varies. Firstly, it's only present in ferrittic steels like carbon steel, not in most kinds of stainless. Secondly, it depends on the grain size of the steel microstructure, with smaller grains giving a lower transition temperature. The third factor is alloying elements. Silicone and Nickel content tends to raise transition temperature.
With modern steels the transition temperature is about -60 degrees celcius. Older steels may have a transition temperature at room temperature, or, more often, at 0 or -10 degrees.

Is stainless steel ductile or brittle?
it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.
Does hardening of steel make it ductile or brittle?
more brittle
What is the importance of impact test?
Impact test determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is a measure of a given material's toughness and acts as a tool to study temperature-dependent brittle-ductile transition. It is to determine whether the material is brittle or ductile in nature.
What is brittle material?
A brittle material fractures without haven a large strain on beforehand. Examples are most ceramics, of extremely hard steel. The opposite is ductile.
How you connect carbon steel with ductile iron?
Carbon Steel refers to various varieties of steel, hence carbon content is limited to max. 2.1%Low carbon steel: Carbon content less than 0.3%, also known as mild steel, very soft and ductile, easily machinable.Medium Carbon Steel: Carbon content varies from 0.3 to 0.5%, responsive to heat treatment, Good machinibility, good tougness and ductility properties and weldability.High Carbon Steel: Greater than 0.5%C. Greater strength as compared to LC and MC steel, accompanied with hardness, Toughness is imparted through heat treatment.Ductile Iron is essentially a Cast iron, with max. caron content upto 4-4.5%. Cast irons are generally hard and brittle in nature dur to such high carbon content. But depending upon the cooling rate the ductile iron contains carbon in spheroidal graphite form instead of flake form. This results in the formation of a ductile matrix, hence Ductile Cast Iron is relatively ductile with respect to other cast iron varieties and also it has good corrosion resistant prpoerties.

Who is the Non ductile metals?
Cast iron, is one example of a non-ductile metal. Unlike ductile metals, copper, steel, aluminium - cast iron is too brittle to be reworked.
What is the effect of temperature on ductility?
At very low temperatures, ductile materials go through a transition to brittleness - above this point they are more ductile and at their highest toughness, below this point they are brittle and have very low toughness (they simply shatter). The best example of this is the classic liquid nitrogen demo - take something that is easy to damage but can be deformed or torn (a flower petal is what I saw, paper probably works too, or a leaf), dip it in liquid nitrogen, drop it, and it will shatter. This effect also works for steel and all kinds of other ductile materials - though the forces needed to shatter it are such that it's not really safe to get close enough to see.Other than the ductile brittle transition effect, I have no idea.Source: My materials engineering course
Is mild steel ductile or brittle?
the tensile strength, hardness and yield strength of steel depends on the amount of carbon in it. this is because amount of pearlite increases linearly with % of C in steel from 0-0.77%. Elongation (ductility) is caused by the ferrite in the steel which forms plastic deformation. there are two ways of treating steel: 1) quenching- this is when red hot steel is rapidly cooled to R.T. this traps most of the carbon in the steel forming pearlite that makes it hard and brittle 2)Normalising- this is when red hot steel is cooled slowly to R.T and allows carbon to dislocate and form ferrite which makes it ductile. this is how mild steel is manufactured.
Is aluminium more ductile than high carbon steel?
Aluminium is ductile and has a low melting point and density.
Why quenching steel must be tempered?
Quenching steel involves rapidly cooling it to increase hardness, but this can make it too brittle. Tempering is a process where the hardened steel is heated to a specific temperature and then cooled slowly. This helps relieve internal stresses and makes the steel tougher and more ductile, balancing hardness with flexibility.
Is tensile strength of cold rolled steel is greater than yield stress?
For ductile materials, the yield stress is always lower than the tensile strength of the material. For brittle material they can usually be considered the same point. Steel is generally considered ductile.
Is steel Ductile?
Structural steel is typically very ductile, as far as steels are concerned. Typical values of elongation under load will vary between 18 and 30% with values in the mid-20's not uncommon. Also, structural steels defined under EN10025 also have their Impact Energy rating defined under the standard.
What is non-ductile?
Materials like gold and copper can be bent; they are malleable or ductile. Materials that are brittle and break easily are non-ductile. Conventional concrete is non-ductile (and breaks under stress of earthquakes)(or other tensile challenge). Metal (steel) mesh or synthetic fibers are added to concrete to make it more ductile.
