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

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 difference between stainless steel and regular steel?

steel isn't as refined but stainless is well stainless and shiny oohlala hot bod Stainless steel is an alloy (mixture) that has chromium mixed in. The chrome makes ordinary steel harder, more brittle, and more resistant to rust and stains, hense, stainless steel.


Is silicon brittle or ductile?

Silicon has a Brittle-to-Ductile transition at around ~500 C.


Is ductile and brittle the same thing?

Ductile and brittle are NOT the same thing. In fact, almost the opposite.


Is silicon a ductile?

No, silicon is a brittle material and not ductile.


What is in stainless steel?

Stainless steal is a mixture of carbon (2%) atoms and chromium (13%) and steel (85%). Stainless steal is more brittle than other metals because of the high carbon content. Chromium helps protect the steel from rust.


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.


Can a rock unit be ductile and brittle?

Doubtful. Ductile by definition means "not brittle, easily stretched, malleable".
