Explanation:
A ductile material can convert into brittle material due to following reasons
1.At very low temperature
2.Due to presence of notch
In titanic ,the base of ship strike to the large ice cube and lower part of titanic ship material was made of steel .We know that steel is ductile material and when steel came with very low temperature of ice due to this ductile material converted in to brittle material and titanic ship failed.Brittle material does not show any indication before failure.
