The local necking and the cup and cone fracture surfaces are typical for ductile metals. This tensile test of a nodular cast iron demonstrates low ductility. Ductility refers to the ability of a material to sustain significant plastic deformation before fracture. Plastic deformation is the permanent distortion of a material under applied stress ...

Ductility is a material property that can be expressed in a variety of ways. Mathematically, it is commonly expressed as a total quantity of elongation or a total quantity of the change in cross sectional area of a specific rock until macroscopic brittle behavior, such as fracturing, is observed.

Ductile materials have a fracture strength lower than the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), whereas in brittle materials the fracture strength is equivalent to the UTS. [2] If a ductile material reaches its ultimate tensile strength in a load-controlled situation, [ Note 1 ] it will continue to deform, with no additional load application, until ...
Ductile iron is not a single material but part of a group of materials which can be produced with a wide range of properties through control of their microstructure. The common defining characteristic of this group of materials is the shape of the graphite. In ductile irons, graphite is in the form of nodules rather than flakes as in grey iron.
A different philosophy is used in composite materials, where brittle glass fibers, for example, are embedded in a ductile matrix such as polyester resin. When strained, cracks are formed at the glass–matrix interface, but so many are formed that much energy is absorbed and the material is thereby toughened.
Those two phenomenon are competitive mechanisms (although they are not mutually exclusive and can coexist [8]), with shear yielding being the more ductile failure mode because it involves the deformation of significant volume of the material while crazing is a more localized phenomenon ad it is more often associated with brittle failure. Shear ...
