DoITPoMS. |. Ductile-to-brittle transition. |. The notched-bar impact test can be used to determine whether or not a material experiences a ductile-to-brittle transition as the temperature is decreased. In such a transition, at higher temperatures the impact energy is relatively large since the fracture is ductile. As the temperature is lowered, the impact energy drops over a narrow temperature range as the fracture becomes more brittle.
