The temperature below which a BCC metal such as steel changes from ductile to brittle behavior is called the:

  1. Ductile-to-brittle transition temperature
  2. Glass transition temperature
  3. Recrystallization temperature
  4. Curie temperature

Answer

A. Ductile-to-brittle transition temperature

Solution

FCC metals generally do not show this transition.
