Here's what happens when a wire breaks under tensile load exceeding its strength. It's typically recognized by the cup and cone appearance at the point of failure. The necking down of the wire at the point of failure to form the cup and cone indicates failure has occurred while the wire retained its ductility. His is a wire with a distinct fatigue break. It's recognized by the square end perpendicular to the wire. This break was produced by a torsion machine that is used to measure the ductility. This break is similar to wire failures in the field caused by fatigue.
