Malleability is the ability of a material to be shaped, e.g. hammered into sheets, without breaking. It is a physical property of plastics and some metals.
---
Examples:
When plasticine is cold, it is hard to work and mold. However once it has been warmed up, it becomes easier to work with: it has become malleable thus its malleability is affected by temperature.
This is also true of iron which has to be heated to be forged.
Malleability is the characteristic of a substance whereby it can be easily hammered or pounded into shape.
Examples of malleable metals are gold and copper.
The word means hammer or maul. It is how much something, like a soft metal, can be shaped or stretched by hitting it. Something more malleable can be shaped easier than something less malleable.
