WHAT DOES DUCTILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ductility

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 has high ductility and malleability, lead has low ductility but high malleability. The word ductility is sometimes used to embrace both types of plasticity.

Definition of ductility in the English dictionary

The first definition of ductility in the dictionary is capability to be drawn out into wire. Other definition of ductility is capability to be moulded; plasticity. Ductility is also ability to be easily led or influenced; tractability.
