A piece of hardened steel, or of brit- tle cast iron, will break by crushing into fragments, and will break up the more completely as it is harder and more brit- tle. Moderately tough cast iron will break into wedge-shaped pieces, and intermediate grades of iron and steel "behave in STRENGTH OF IRON AND STEEL. 457 ways peculiar to each. Extremely hard metals exhibit no sign of yielding until their limit of resistance is reached, when they suddenly fly to pieces with great violence. In all cases..., resistance increases up to a limit beyond which the piece usually gives way suddenly, if the metal be hard or brittle ; while ductile and malleable metals often offer constantly increasing resistance, the limit being reached only when the pressure becomes so great as to cause the metal to flow steadily. The larger the piece the higher the resistance per unit of cross-section. In consequence of these variations due to form and size, it is even more necessary than when testing by tension to have a standard form of test-piece, and to report all observa- tions as made upon such standard.
