Actually that depends on the alloy:
- iron & carbon alloys are less ductile than pure iron because the small carbon atoms position themselves between the larger iron atoms and lock them in place
- plutonium & gallium alloy is actually more ductile than pure plutonium as the gallium stabilizes the ductile delta phase at room temperature instead of the normal brittle alpha phase that usually forms at room temperature
- etc.

∙ 12y agoalloys are made up of several metals . therefore , due to the strong atomic linkage between atoms make the alloy more dense and hard . this harness of the material resist the alooy to become more ductile .

Is brass very ductile?
Some brass alloys are very ductile, provided they are annealed before forming; others not so.
Is polonium ductile?
This will help you. Phosphorus is not ductile or malleable. For one its a gas. But at room temperature, it hardens. Even when it hardens phosphorus isn't ductile or malleable because it is very brittle.
Metal that can be pulled into a wire is?
Metal that can be pulled into a wire is ductile. The most ductile metal is gold.Copper (or alloys containing great amounts of copper) and aluminum (alloys) are the most common electric conductors with silver, gold and other rare metals used for specific purposes.Various iron alloys are made into cable wire that are to withstand high tensile loads.
Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable
Is bronze a ductile material?
Well, it's pretty brittle, so relatively, no. More malleable than diamonds, less malleable than copper.

Is stainless steel ductile or brittle?
it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.

How does pearlite affect mechanical properties?
Makes it harder and less ductile.
What is the malleability for gold?
Gold (Au) is a highly soft precious metal. Ductility refers to its malleability, that is its easy in shaping. Pure gold is highly ductile, and for this reason jewelry forms use harder gold alloys using other metals as hardeners.
Do germanium have property of ductility and malleability?
no, it is less ductile and malleable than is glass.
Why the machining of brittle material is easy than ductile material?
Very ductile material will often smear rather than cut during machining operations. Less ductile material (more brittle) will cut more easily.
Which occurs at a lower stress value ductile deformation or elastic deformation?
Ductile deformation is when rock is given enough stress to break. If the stress is less, it will bend but not break.
Terbium?
A silvery-white, rare earth metal that is malleable and ductile. It is the ninth member of the lanthanide series and has the symbol Tb. It is used to dope materials, stabilize fuel cells and make alloys.
