Q: In compression test, the fracture in cast iron specimen would occur along
  • A. the axis of load
  • B. an oblique plane
  • C. at right angles to the axis of specimen
  • D. none of the above
Correct Answer: Option B - In compression, brittle failure will be occur along oblique plane and in case of tension test brittle material failure plane will be along right angle to the axis.
B. In compression, brittle failure will be occur along oblique plane and in case of tension test brittle material failure plane will be along right angle to the axis.

Explanations:

In compression, brittle failure will be occur along oblique plane and in case of tension test brittle material failure plane will be along right angle to the axis.
