The brittle-ductile transition in single-crystal iron

The fracture behaviour of single-crystal pure iron was studied by four-point bending of pre-cracked specimens at temperatures between 77 and 180 K and strain rates between 4.46 × 10-5 and 4.46 × 10-3 s-1. Fracture behaviour changes from brittle to ductile with increasing temperature. The brittle-duc...
