  "id": "MLC-T-IND-006943",
  "term": "Ductile fracture",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A mode of material failure characterized by extensive plastic deformation before the final separation of the material. This type of fracture typically involves the formation and coalescence of microvoids, resulting in a rough, fibrous fracture surface. Metals like mild steel exhibit ductile fracture, absorbing considerable energy before breaking.",
