  • Ductility Is When A Solid Material Stretches Under: Tensile Wire Malleability Compressive

    Ductility refers to a material's ability to stretch under tension without fracturing, allowing it to be drawn into wires, while malleability is the ability to deform under pressure, such as flattening by hammering. Both are aspects of plasticity and the extent of plastic deformation depends on temperature and pressure, as shown by Percy Bridgman's Nobel-winning work on high pressures. While ductility and malleability often coincide, gold has high amounts of both whereas lead is highly malleable but not very ductile. Materials like gold, copper, aluminum, and steel exhibit high ductility.

    Ductility is when a solid material stretches under tensile stress.

    If ductile, a material may be


    stretched into a wire. Malleability, a similar property, is a material's ability to deform under pressure
    (compressive stress). If malleable, a material may be flattened by hammering or rolling.
    Both of these properties are aspects of plasticity. Plasticity is how far a solid material can be
    plastically deformed without fracture. Also, these material properties are dependent on temperature
    and pressure. This was investigated by Percy Williams Bridgman as part of his Nobel Prizewinning
    work on high pressures.
    Ductility and malleability do not always go together. Gold has high ductility and malleability,
    but lead has low ductility and high malleability.[1]The word ductility is sometimes used to embrace
    both types of plasticity.[2]
    Gold, copper, aluminium, and steel have high ductility.
