Ductile in a sentence

These types of pig irons are used to dilute all the elements in a ductile iron charge (except carbon) which may be harmful to the ductile iron process.

Those four vary in tensile strength as a function of oxygen content, with Grade 1 being the most ductile (lowest tensile strength with an oxygen content of 0.18%), and Grade 4 the least ductile (highest tensile strength with an oxygen content of 0.40%).

The semi-brittle state, however, combines both brittle and ductile deformation, where rocks permanently change shape by “flowing” or “bending” under stress.

It’s a limber tune with skittering guitar, ductile bass, and drums that are both fast as hell, fluid, and in perfect continuous counterpart to the stop-start guitar blasts.

The break rate for corrosion-prone ductile iron pipes, on the other hand, has increased by 13 percent over the past six years.

As the tension steel yields and stretches, an "under-reinforced" concrete also yields in a ductile manner, exhibiting a large deformation and warning before its ultimate failure.

By 1910, a process was developed by William D. Coolidge at General Electric for production of a ductile form of tungsten.

Called Extra Super Duralumin (ESD), it was lighter, stronger and more ductile than other alloys (e.g. 24S alloy) used at the time, but was prone to corrosive attack, which made it brittle.

Certain compositions of cast iron, while retaining the economies of melting and casting, can be heat treated after casting to make malleable iron or ductile iron objects.

Characteristics A sample of gadolinium Physical properties Gadolinium is a silvery-white malleable and ductile rare-earth metal.

Characteristics Physical properties Ytterbium is a soft, malleable and ductile chemical element that displays a bright silvery luster when in its pure form.

Forging and casting Forged crankshaft Crankshafts can be forged from a steel bar usually through roll forging or cast in ductile steel.

For the cutting of complex geometries, there are also flexible versions of the linear shaped charge, these with a lead or high-density foam sheathing and a ductile/flexible lining material, which also is often lead.

Glass fiber is inexpensive and corrosion-proof, but not as ductile as steel.

He pioneered the theory of fibre diffraction analysis in 1921, and the dislocation theory of plastic deformation of ductile metals and other materials in 1934.

It is soft and ductile when annealed and is greatly increased in strength and hardness when cold-worked.

Minerals can be described as brittle, ductile, malleable, sectile, flexible, or elastic.

Strain can take the form of brittle faulting and ductile folding and shearing.

Stretching lineations may be difficult to quantify, especially in highly stretched ductile rocks where minimal foliation information is preserved.

The best materials are face-centered cubic metals, as they are the most ductile, but even graphite and zero-ductility ceramic cones show significant penetration.
