No, that's the exact opposite. Ductile materials are able to be drawn into a thin wire (tensile stress), while the operations described in the question all refer to compressive stress (the word for materials with the stated properties is malleable).

Many ductile materials are also malleable and vice versa, but the two are not necessarily synonyms.

Are malleable and ductile the same thing?

No, malleability and ductility are not the same. Malleability refers to the ability of a material to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets, while ductility refers to the ability of a material to be stretched or drawn into a wire.

What is the ability of a substance to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets is known as?

It is by using the term malleability that we describe the ability of a material or substance to be beaten into thin sheets without breaking or tearing. There is a link below to the Wikipedia article on ductility, and malleability is sometimes considered an "extension" of this property of materials.


What property of a metal describes its ability to be easily drawn into a wire but not rolled into a sheet without splitting?

Ductility http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility


What is Malleability and Ductility?

Malleability is how malleable an object is, for example a metal is malleable as it can be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking. Ductility is how ductile an object is, again many metals are ductile as they can be drawn or pulled into a long strand of wire without breaking.


What is the meant by the term malleability?

Malleability refers to the ability of a material to be reshaped under compressive stress without breaking. Materials that are malleable can be easily hammered, rolled, or pressed into thin sheets without cracking or breaking.


Is the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets?

Yes, the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets is called malleability. This property is commonly observed in metals like gold and aluminum, which can be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking.
