Ceramics, glasses, minerals and aggregates of cemented of minerals (i.e. rocks) are all examples of brittle solids. There are probably many others you can think of!

Is stainless steel ductile or brittle?

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


Is xenon brittle?

Yes, xenon is a gas at room temperature and pressure, so it does not have a definitive brittle or ductile property like solid materials.


Is silicon brittle or ductile?

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


What is the difference between brittle and ductile with two examples of each?

Generally something that is brittle will not deform, or deform very little before it breaks, where as something that is ductile will deform a lot before it breaks. That is how it is when comparing steels. White cast iron has no ductility therefore it will break with little or no deformation, where as mild steel has higher ductility and will deform considerably before it breaks.


What are some ductile materials?

Materials that are ductile, or have the property of ductility, will stretch and deform when they are pulled, rather than breaking. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead are common examples of ductile materials.


Is ductile and brittle the same thing?

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


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

Ductile materials exhibit large deformations and are able to withstand significant amounts of compression before fracturing. Brittle materials, on the other hand, exhibit minimal deformation under compression and tend to fail suddenly and catastrophically when subjected to compressive loads.


Is silicon a ductile?

No, silicon is a brittle material and not ductile.


What is silicons ductility?

Silicon is not ductile; it is a brittle material. This means that it is not able to be drawn out into wires or hammered into thin sheets like ductile materials such as copper or gold.


Can a rock unit be ductile and brittle?

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


Is harder alloy steel is ductile or brittle?
