Yes. Aluminium is a metal and a very malleable (can be hammered into sheets) metal as well. To prove this, 'tin' foil used to wrap food for cooking (like 'Bacofoil') is actually made from aluminum and not tin.
The most malleable metal is gold - it can be hammered into thin 'gold leaf' sheets that can be so thin that they are just a few atoms thick. Aluminium is not as malleable as this, but it can easily be made into foil.

Is ductility a physical property or chemical property?
Ductility is a physical property because it can be observed without a chemical change to the material. For instance, if we are working with aluminum to calculate its ductility, whatever we do to the aluminum metal in the process, it will still be aluminum metal.
If a material can be shaped or extended by physical pressure which property does the material have?
A substance is considered to be ductile, if it can be hammered out thin or drawn into a wire.
Is iron a chemical or a physical property?

What do you call being able to be hammered and rolled into thin sheets?
This is malleability, which is a property of metals.
What is maellable?
Malleability is a physical property of matter, usually metals. This property usually applies to the family groups 1 to 12 on the Modern Periodic Table of Elements. It is the ability of a solid to bend or be hammered into other shapes without breaking. Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron,copper (to a degree) and lead.Malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin sheets. Gold and silver are highly malleable. When a piece of hot iron is hammered it takes the shape of a sheet, we can also shape it as we want.

Color is a physical property.
Is mallreable a physical or chemical?
It's a physical property. Consider the metal gold. It is wonderfully malleable. It has been hammered into gold leaf for centuries.
Why is malleability a physical property?
It is a physical property.
If a material can be shaped or extended by physical pressure which property does the material have?
A substance is considered to be ductile, if it can be hammered out thin or drawn into a wire.
