material. The high strength and ductility of ADI are a direct result of its microstructure. Specifically, the ductility of ductile irons is a result of the lack

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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

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
