sprödbrytning
Sprödbrytning, often translated as brittle fracture, is a type of mechanical failure in materials characterized by little or no plastic deformation before the fracture occurs. This stands in contrast to ductile fracture, where a material visibly deforms before breaking. Sprödbrytning typically results in a clean, sharp fracture surface and can happen suddenly, making it particularly dangerous in structural applications.
Several factors can promote sprödbrytning. Low temperatures are a significant contributor, as many materials become less
Identifying sprödbrytning involves examining the fracture surface. Brittle fractures often exhibit characteristics like cleavage facets, which
