Temper embrittlement can be identified by a(n) shift in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature measured in a Charpy impact test.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temper embrittlement results in an upward shift in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature, which means the material becomes more brittle at higher temperatures than it should be. This can lead to sudden catastrophic failure of the material.
