remove the concentration of carbon, look up DBTT ductility to brittle transistion tempreture, this will explain that with increasing carbon ductility will decrease

Does hardening of steel make it ductile or brittle?

more brittle


Is stainless steel ductile or brittle?

it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.


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.

Is aluminium more ductile than high carbon steel?

High carbon steel is generally more ductile than aluminum. Aluminum is known for its low ductility compared to metals like steel, which can be shaped and stretched without breaking more easily. High carbon steel has higher ductility, making it better suited for applications requiring ductility and flexibility.


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.
