rounded nodules inhibit the creation of cracks, thus providing the enhanced ductility that gives the alloy its name. Nodule formation is achieved by adding...

Ductile iron pipe is pipe made of ductile cast iron commonly used for potable water transmission and distribution. This type of pipe is a direct development...

as brittle. Until this time, most aluminium wheels suffered from low ductility, usually ranging from 2-3% elongation. Because light-alloy wheels at the...

measured ductility. It is important to understand that even the same type of rock or mineral may exhibit different behavior and degrees of ductility due to...

Brittle fractures occur without any apparent deformation before fracture. Ductile fractures occur after visible deformation. Fracture strength, or breaking...

Cement-mortar lined ductile iron pipe is a ductile iron pipe with cement lining on the inside surface, and is commonly used for water distribution. Cement-mortar...

this is a process used to control the ductility and hardness of a material. With longer marquenching, the ductility increases with a minimal loss in strength;...

physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable. It involves heating...

argentite. Relative to most inorganic materials, α-Ag2S displays exceptional ductility at room temperature. This material can undergo extensive deformation,...

phenomenon of practical importance, where certain ductile metals experience drastic loss in tensile ductility or undergo brittle fracture when exposed to specific...

was found that the ductility measurement in a standard tension test includes local ductility and uniform ductility. Local ductility is designated as the...

The brittle-ductile transition zone (hereafter the "transition zone") is the zone of the Earth's crust that marks the transition from the upper, more...

in the 1990s, increasing strength and ductility. A second generation used new alloys to further increase ductility, but were expensive and difficult to...

materials into two broad categories; namely, the ductile materials and the brittle materials.: 51  Ductile materials, including structural steel and many...

the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials, the ultimate tensile strength can be higher. The ultimate tensile...

tensile strength and ductility are compensated for by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility. The reinforcement is...

and ductility. Toughness is related to the area under the stress–strain curve. In order to be tough, a material must be both strong and ductile. For...

methacrylate) is extremely brittle at temperature 4˚C, but experiences increased ductility with increased temperature. Amorphous polymers are polymers that can behave...

the cast iron had high tensile strength plus it exhibited ductility. Thus was born ductile iron in 1943. Millis and others at the International Nickel...

mantle, the extreme conditions of pressure and temperature make the rock ductile. That is, the rock is capable of slowly deforming without fracture, like...

passing crack and initiate countless new cracks as the material breaks, and ductile cast iron has spherical graphite "nodules" which stop the crack from further...

interactions and plastic deformation resumes. However, ductility of a work-hardened material is decreased. Ductility is the extent to which a material can undergo...

enhancing ductility, since most of the austenite disappears in the first 5% of plastic strain, a regime where the steel has adequate ductility already....
