What makes a metal less malleable?

Increasing the presence of impurities or interstitial atoms, colder temperatures, or the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds can all make a metal less malleable. These factors can disrupt the metal's crystal structure and reduce its ability to deform plastically without fracturing.
