The property of some metals of being extended in all directions by hammering without cracking or breaking. Gold, the most malleable of all metals, can be beaten to a thickness of 0.000004 of an inch. (Derived from the Latin malleare, meaning to hammer.)
The property which allows a material to be permanently deformed, without fracture, when beaten or rolled.
Property of precious metals of being extended or shaped by beating with a hammer, or by the pressure of rollers.
the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped under pressure without breaking
The property, usually of a metal, of being easily worked without fracturing.
The property of a metal which permits it to be extended in all directions without breaking.
Capable of being hammered or rolled into a shape without breaking.
Capacity for undergoing deformation in all directions, usually cold deformation by hammering or squeezing.
A property of all metal that determines the ease of deformation when subjected to rolling or hammering.
It can be defined as the property of a metal to be deformed by compression without cracking or rupturing. The load may be applied slowly or suddenly and will determine whether the material will be suitable for forging or rolling into thin sheet.
The property of a metal that permits deformation by rolling, heading, hammering or extension by pressure without fracturing.
Capable of being extended or shaped by hammering or by pressure from rollers. Deformed by compressive forces rather than tensile forces.
The property of being permanently deformed by compression without rupture.
The property that determines the ease of deforming a metal when the metal is subjected to rolling or hammering. The more malleable metals can be hammered or rolled into thin sheet more easily than others. (2) A process of annealing white cast iron in such a way that the combined carbon is wholly or partly transformed to graphitic or free carbon or, in someinstances, part of the carbon is removed completely.
The characteristic of metals which permits them to be deformed plastically by compressive forces without fracture.
