Ductility is a physical and mechanical property of metals that allows the metal to be deformed, drawn, bent or twisted into different shapes without fracture or breaking.
It is opposite to Brittleness and is somehow similar to malleability. Ductile metals are vital in creating wire or tubing because of its ease in forming while remaining in tact. Examples of Ductile metals are:
- Platinum
- Tungsten
- Copper
- Steel
- etc.
