A.
High temperature and low strain rates favour brittle fracture
B.
Many metals with hexagonal close packed (H.C.P) crystal structure commonly show brittle fracture
AnswerC.
Brittle fracture is always preceded by noise
D.
Cup and cone formation is characteristic for brittle materials
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Brittle Fracture is the sudden, very rapid cracking of equipment under stress where the material exhibited little or no evidence of ductility or plastic degradation before the fracture occurs.metals with hexagonal close packed (H.C.P) crystal structure commonly show brittle fracture
