Capable of being drawn out or hammered thin.

A property of metal that enables it to be drawn or hammered thin.

Amount of plastic strain a material can withstand before it fractures.

The property of a metal that enables it to stretch before rupturing.

The ability to permit change of shape without fracture. In flat rolled steel, ductility is usually measured by hardness or mechanical properties in a tensile test.

Refers to the amount of deformation a material experiences before complete structural failure. The greater the ductility, the more abuse the metal will take prior to failure. This is not to be confused with strength.

The ability of steel to accept deformation without fracturing. Ductility is a notable benefit of alloy steel.

The work stored by forming or another kind of energy conversion until fracture.

The ability of steel to go through permanent changes of shape without fracturing.

Ductility generally refers to the amount of inelastic deformation which a material or structure experiences before complete failure. Quantitatively, ductility can be defined as the ratio of the total displacement or strain at failure, divided by the displacement or strain at the elastic limit.

Ability of a material to carry load after it is bent.

a measure of a material's ability to undergo appreciable plastic deformation before fracture.

The property of a metal that lets you give it a great deal of mechanical deformation without cracking.

The ability of a gray iron casting to deform without being fractured. Iron castings have a considerable amount of ductility.

The ability of the material to deform without fracture. This is measured by elongation of reduction of area in a tensile test.

Ability to undergo cold plastic deformation usually as a result of tension.

The property that permits permanent deformation before fracture by stress in the tension.

The ability of metals to be drawn out in fine wires without breaking.

A property of all traditional metals that allows for deformations during cold working without fracturing. Typically measured as elongation at break in a tensile test. Back to the Top

Property of solid material that undergoes more or less plastic deformation before it ruptures. The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing.

The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing, measured by elongation or reduction of area in a tensile test, by height of cupping in an Erichsen test, or by other means.

The ability of a metal to withstand deformation before finally fracturing.

The property of a material to absorb large inelastic deformations before failing. p. 4

The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing of area in a tensile test or by other means.(Course Material/Ultrasonics/EquipmentTrans/emattexture1.htm)

The capability of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; malleable; capable of being drawn out into wire; ability to undergo change of form without breaking.

The ability of an object to accept bending or reforming without fracture.

The blade's ability to flex, bend or take an impact without fracturing. If the amount of flex or bend is small before cracking or breaking, the blade is considered brittle.

The property of the material to withstand deformation by stretching, without recovery of shape upon removal of the stretching force.

A measure of a materials ability to undergo appreciable plastic deformation before fracture; it may be expressed as percent elongation or percent area reduction from a tensile test.

Ability of a material to be bent or otherwise formed without fracture.

A measurement of the malleability of stainless steel in terms of the amount of deformation it will withstand before failure.

A measure of the permanent stretching or deformation a material can take prior to failure. Ceramics have no ductility, while materials such as stainless steel and aluminum exhibit large ductilities, often measured at 60% stretch or elongation prior to failure.

The property of metal which permits it to be reduced in cross sectional area without fracture. In a tensile test, ductile metals show considerable elongation eventually failing by necking, with consequent rapid increase in local stresses.

The measurement of a metals ability to bend or deform from stresses supplied by external forces before fracturing. The measurement is defined by elongation and reduction of area performed on a tension test.

The property that permits permanent deformation or stretch before fracture by stress or tension.
