Metals with high tensile elongation are often used in applications that require flexibility and ductility, such as in vehicle construction and aviation. <\/p><h4>Elongation at break in plastics<\/h4><p>Plastics exhibit a wide range of elongation at break values, from very brittle to extremely ductile types. For example: <\/p><ul><li><strong>Polystyrene<\/strong>: Very low elongation at break (&lt;5%)<\/li><li><strong>Polyethylene<\/strong>: High elongation at break (up to 600%)<\/li><\/ul><p>The tensile elongation of plastics is strongly influenced by their molecular structure and additives.<\/p><h4>Elongation at break in composite materials<\/h4><p>Composite materials, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics, have specific elongation at break properties that are determined by the combination of their components. They often offer a unique balance between strength and ductility, making them ideal for specialized applications such as aerospace. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9f076c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9f076c2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-87c78b6\" data-id=\"87c78b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-232dc87 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"232dc87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/nh-oring.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Halber-NBR-O-Ring-1024x406.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-28107\" alt=\"O-Ringe halbe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nh-oring.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Halber-NBR-O-Ring-1024x406.png 1024w, https:\/\/nh-oring.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Halber-NBR-O-Ring-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/nh-oring.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Halber-NBR-O-Ring-768x305.png 768w, https:\/\/nh-oring.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Halber-NBR-O-Ring.png 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-52e5c3e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"52e5c3e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6cfb603\" data-id=\"6cfb603\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6c2e19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f6c2e19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"3\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-962b7c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"962b7c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"background-color:#fe5050;color: #ffffff;padding: 3px\">#3<\/span> Application examples and case studies<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5b059a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b5b059a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac796f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac796f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Knowledge of the tensile elongation&nbsp;is of crucial importance in numerous industrial sectors.

Hardening often makes a metal more brittle and reduces its elongation at break, while tempering can increase ductility.   <br><br><\/li><li><strong>Mechanical processing<\/strong>: Processes such as rolling, drawing or forging can change the grain structure of a material and thus influence its maximum elongation limit. Cold forming, for example, can increase the strength but reduce the tensile elongation.   <br><br><\/li><li><strong>Alloy composition<\/strong>: In alloys, the addition of certain elements can influence the elongation at break. For example, the addition of chromium and nickel to steel can improve its ductility. <\/li><\/ul><h4>Practical significance<\/h4><ul><li><strong>Application-specific material selection<\/strong>: This knowledge is crucial for the selection of materials for specific applications.
