Ductile materials are those that can undergo a large plastic deformation without brittle failure or fracture occurring. In other words ductile material can be stretched without breaking. For example a ductile material can be stretched into a wire.

Ductility is a solid material's ability to deform under tensile stress.

1. Easily drawn into wire or hammered thin: ductile metals.

2. Easily molded or shaped (malleable)

3. Capable of being readily persuaded or influenced (tractable)

How is malleable different from ductile?

In practice, things that are one are frequently the other also, but technically, "ductile" means that it can be drawn into wires, and "malleable" means that it can be hammered into thin sheets.


Many metals are described as ductile which means they can be .?

Ductile metals can be easily stretched into thin wires without breaking. This property is due to the ability of the metal atoms to slide past each other when subjected to stress. Examples of ductile metals include gold, silver, and copper.

Is polythene ductile or brittle?

Polythene is a type of plastic that is generally considered to be ductile. This means it can deform without breaking when subjected to stress or strain, making it suitable for a variety of applications where flexibility is required.
