Want this question answered?
when a metal can sustain high tensile pulls commonly knows as tensile stress, with breaking or rupture, the metal is said to be ductile
Of or pertaining to extension; as, tensile strength., Capable of extension; ductile; tensible.
A ductile metal is a metal that experiences noticeable deformation under tensile loading.
For ductile materials, the yield stress is always lower than the tensile strength of the material. For brittle material they can usually be considered the same point. Steel is generally considered ductile.
Materials like gold and copper can be bent; they are malleable or ductile. Materials that are brittle and break easily are non-ductile. Conventional concrete is non-ductile (and breaks under stress of earthquakes)(or other tensile challenge). Metal (steel) mesh or synthetic fibers are added to concrete to make it more ductile.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or Teflon is a ductile material you can see some tensile test on YouTube to understand that.

For improving Tensile strength - we can deep the fabrics in Regine solutions at the last stage of washing.
increase carbon and manganese
That all depends on the material For most all metals, tensile strength is stronger by about factor of 1.7 For most metals tensile strength is equal to compression strength For concrete, both comppression strength and shear strength are higher than tensile strength For many composites, tensile strenght is higherthan compression strength
Ductile means that it can hammered thin or made into a wire. That pretty much excludes the possibility of being brittle. However, conducting heat or electricity is entirely different. It just so happens that metals are often ductile and the often conduct heat and electricity, but other materials are not ductile that do conduct electricity, and many of them are brittle. The physical properties (being ductile or brittle) do not necessarily determine the chemical properties (being conductive).
A tensile test machine is designed to give a straight line pull on a member so that it measures only direct tensile stress given as the force applied divided by the member area
