Best Answer

It's the level of which you can alter the shape of a material. The more you can distort (bend, pound, etc.) a material, the more malleable it is.

Gold is the most malleable element.

Some metals become more malleable with heat, such as iron and bronze. This is also true of certain plastics, clays (like Plasticene) and other materials, but metals are the most malleable materials.
