How are the materials classified as ductile or brittle?

Expert Solution
Step 1

 Ductile material

When the material undergoes plastic deformation before the failure of the material is termed as the ductile material. Examples of the ductile material are aluminum, copper steel, and silver, etc.

The ductility of the material is specified by the degree to which any materials sustain tensile strain before the failure. Normally a ductile material can withstand impact load for a short time duration. The tensile strength of the material is higher as compared to the brittle material.
