In brittle fracture, no apparent plastic deformation takes place before fracture. In ductile fracture, extensive plastic deformation (necking) takes place before fracture.

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
Is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material?
is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material
Is germanium ductile?
No, germanium is very brittle.
What is a ductile fracture?
Capable of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; malleable. Can be made into wires.
Is polythene ductile or brittle?
is polythene ductile or brittle?
Is stainless steel ductile or brittle?
it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.
Is wood ductile or brittle?
Brittle
What is ductile fracture?
A ductile fracture is caused by plastic deformation that can be identified by cap and cone appearance of the fracture.
Is silicon brittle or ductile?
Silicon has a Brittle-to-Ductile transition at around ~500 C.
What does it mean if something is brittle?
: Separation of a solid accompanied by little or no macroscopic plastic deformation. Typically, brittle fracture occurs by rapid crack propagation with less expenditure of energy than for ductile fracture. :
Is ductile and brittle the same thing?
Ductile and brittle are NOT the same thing. In fact, almost the opposite.
What is the importance of tests?
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.
Can a rock unit be ductile and brittle?
Doubtful. Ductile by definition means "not brittle, easily stretched, malleable".
Is sulfur malleable ductile or brittle?
Sulfur is brittle.
Is fluoride brittle or ductile?
A fluoride salt is brittle.
Is harder alloy steel is ductile or brittle?
brittle
