What is meant by ductility? Suggest a method to measure ductility.
What will be an ideal response?
Ductility is a measure of the capacity of a material to deform before breaking and is used to determine the degree of brittleness. It is measured in terms of percent elongation or percent reduction in area. One method of measuring the percent elongation is to use a tensile tester. The test equipment holds a piece of material between two powerful clamps. A tensile force is gradually applied until the material fails. The % elongation is computed by the following:
