A term used to describe metals soft enough to be stretched, drawn or hammered without breaking.
The ability of a substance to be drawn out to form a thin wire.
ductility. Compare with malleable. Capable of being drawn into wire. Metals are typically ductile materials.
Capable of being stretched into a thin wire. A form of tenacity. Ductility is the capability of being able to stretched into a thin wire.
Can be drawn into wire. See What Makes Gold Gold?.
Easily bent. Contrast with brittle.
capable of being shaped or bent or drawn out; "ductile copper"; "malleable metals such as gold"; "they soaked the leather to made it pliable"; "pliant molten glass"; "made of highly tensile steel alloy"
Ductile is the ability of a substance to be hammered thin.
The physical property exhibited by gold which allows it to be drawn out into fine wire.
the ability to be drawn into wire form
Describes a substance that can be stretched or drawn out into thin wire. Gold and copper are very ductile.
can be drawn or stretched into wire and other shapes.
A ductile substance is easily pulled or stretched into a thin wire. gold is the most ductile metal.
Capable of being bent or molded into various shapes without breaking.
capable of being stetched, drawn, or hammered without breaking – not brittle.
Capable of being drawn out; of low rigidity and so able to flow slowly.
Workable. Material, as metal, able to be stretched or hammered thin without breaking, something not brittle, easily molded.
If a material is ductile it is capable of being drawn into thin sheets or wires without breaking. Classifying materials
