Hey,
I am certainly not a materials expert, but I have seen broken clamps and the ones that cracked looked more brittle to the naked eye. I do know they finally just went to steel. I am currently replacing aluminum ones with steel as people reach out to me. In all the cracks I have seen I have seen only two instances where the mount itself cracked.
In both cases there had to be a pretty severe impact.
