What is ductility?
Q: What is ductility?
A: Ductility is when a solid material stretches under tensile strain.
Q: What is malleability?
A: Malleability is a material's ability to deform under pressure (compressive stress).
Q: Can a ductile material be stretched into a wire?
A: Yes, a ductile material may be stretched into a wire.
Q: Can a malleable material be flattened by hammering or rolling?
A: Yes, a malleable material may be flattened by hammering or rolling.
Q: What is plasticity?
A: Plasticity is how far a solid material can be deformed without fracture.
Q: Do ductility and malleability always go together?
A: No, ductility and malleability do not always go together. Gold has high ductility and malleability, but lead has low ductility and high malleability.
Q: What are some metals that have high ductility?
A: Gold, copper, aluminium, and steel have high ductility.
