Ductile Failure: Definition, Causes, and Prevention

Ductile Failure: Definition, Causes, and Prevention Ductile failure is a type of material failure characterized by the fracture of a ductile material. Ductile materials are strong and can withstand large amounts of deformation before fracturing, making them ideal for many engineering applications. This article will define ductile failure, discuss its causes, and explain how to prevent it. What Is Ductile Failure? Ductile failure occurs when a ductile material fractures due to excessive deformation or stress. Ductile materials are those that can deform plastically before fracturing, rather than breaking suddenly as a brittle material would. This makes them suitable for use…
