To obtain a fundamental understanding of ductile fracture and ductility it is necessary that engineers and metallurgists work together closely. This book is written by scientists from each of these disciplines and thus takes a unified approach to the subject. It is confined to ductile fractures that do not occur at elevated temperatures; modes of creep deformation are not described.
