Why the machining of brittle material is easy than ductile material?

Very ductile material will often smear rather than cut during machining operations. Less ductile material (more brittle) will cut more easily.


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.


What types of material would have a yield point?

all materials that are ductile, including almost all metals and plastics. Those materials that are brittle, like glass and ceramics, do not have defined yield points; they simply break


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.


How do brittle and ductile materials differ in their behaviour in a compression test?

(a) Ductile materials: For ductile material such as mild steel, the load Vs compression diagram would be as follows(1) The ductile materials such as steel, Aluminum, and copper have stress - strain diagrams similar to ones which we have for tensile test, there would be an elastic range which is then followed by a plastic region.(2) The ductile materials (steel, Aluminum, copper) proportional limits in compression test are very much close to those in tension.(3) In tension test, a specimen is being stretched, necking may occur, and ultimately fracture fakes place. On the other hand when a small specimen of the ductile material is compressed, it begins to bulge on sides and becomes barrel shaped as shown in the figure above. With increasing load, the specimen is flattened out, thus offering increased resistance to further shortening ( which means that the stress - strains curve goes upward ) this effect is indicated in the diagram.Brittle materials ( in compression test )Brittle materials in compression typically have an initial linear region followed by a region in which the shortening increases at a higher rate than does the load. Thus, the compression stress - strain diagram has a shape that is similar to the shape of the tensile diagram.However, brittle materials usually reach much higher ultimate stresses in compression than in tension.For cast iron, the shape may be like thisBrittle materials in compression behave elastically up to certain load, and then fail suddenly by splitting or by craking in the way as shown in figure. The brittle fracture is performed by separation and is not accompanied by noticeable plastic deformation.

Is silicon a ductile?

No, silicon is a brittle material and not ductile.

What will happen to a material if the stress exceeds the ultimate strength?

It will break or fail. The type of failure will depend on how brittle/ductile it is. Brittle material will break cleanly, while ductile material will deform to varying degrees.


Is diamond a ductile material?

No, diamond is not considered a ductile material. It is actually quite brittle and can shatter easily under impact due to its crystal structure.


Is boron ductile or not ductile?

Boron is not considered a ductile material. It is a brittle element and tends to break or fracture rather than deform under stress.


Is stainless steel ductile or brittle?

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


Is brittle metal or non-metal?

Brittle is neither a metal or nonmetal, it is a physical property of materials.Brittle is a property of a material. Most metals are not brittle but ductile and maleable.


Is the element silicon ductile?

No, it is a semi conductor so it is not ductile.


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.


Is silicon brittle or ductile?

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


Is diamond ductile?

No. Diamond is the hardest mineral and it is not malleable or plastic.
