   Etymology: from ductile.

   1. Quality of suffering extension; flexibility.

   Yellow colour and ductility are properties of gold: they belong to all gold, but not only to gold; for saffron is also yellow, and lead is ductile. Isaac Watts, Logick.

1. Ductility

   Ductility is a mechanical property commonly described as a material's amenability to drawing (e.g. into wire). In materials science, ductility is defined by the degree to which a material can sustain plastic deformation under tensile stress before failure. Ductility is an important consideration in engineering and manufacturing. It defines a material's suitability for certain manufacturing operations (such as cold working) and its capacity to absorb mechanical overload. Some metals that are generally described as ductile include gold and copper, while platinum is the most ductile of all metals in pure form. However, not all metals experience ductile failure as some can be characterized with brittle failure like cast iron. Polymers generally can be viewed as ductile materials as they typically allow for plastic deformation.Malleability, a similar mechanical property, is characterized by a material's ability to deform plastically without failure under compressive stress. Historically, materials were considered malleable if they were amenable to forming by hammering or rolling. Lead is an example of a material which is relatively malleable but not ductile.

1. ductility

   Ductility is a physical property of a material that allows it to be drawn, stretched or deformed without breaking. It refers to the ability of a material to undergo significant plastic deformation before rupture or failure, usually measured by its ability to be elongated into a wire-like form. This property is often characterized in materials such as metals, glass and plastics.

1. Ductility

   In materials science, ductility is a solid material's ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material's ability to be stretched into a wire. Malleability, a similar property, is a material's ability to deform under compressive stress; this is often characterized by the material's ability to form a thin sheet by hammering or rolling. Both of these mechanical properties are aspects of plasticity, the extent to which a solid material can be plastically deformed without fracture. Also, these material properties are dependent on temperature and pressure. Ductility and malleability are not always coextensive – for instance, while gold is both ductile and malleable, lead is only malleable. The word ductility is sometimes used to embrace both types of plasticity.
