The capability of being able to stretched into a thin wire; being ductile.

The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracture, as measured by elongation or reduction of area in a tensile test.

Ductility is a measure of the amount of strain a material can withstand before failing. Typically, metals have high ductility. A substance with high ductility can be drawn into long, thin wires without breaking. A material with low ductility with be brittle and will rupture when drawn.A tensile test measures ductility. A material is drawn until the [..]

The property of a material that determines its capacity for plastic deformation without fracturing. Ductility is most often measured by performing a tensile test and measuring the elongation or reduction of an area.

Ability of steel to undergo permanent changes in shape without fracture at room temperature.

The ability of a substance to be stretched.

See toughness

The property of a metal that permits it to be drawn. rolled, or hammered without fracturing or breaking.

ability of a substance to be pulled into thin strands without breaking.

The property of a metal that enables it to stretch before rupturing.

The ability of a substance to be drawn out or stretched thin. While ductility is considered an important characteristic of asphalt cements in many applications, the presence or absence of ductility is usually considered more significant than the actual degree of ductility.

The property of a metal that enables it to be drawn through a die to form a wire.

(n) the malleability of something that can be drawn into threads or wires or hammered into thin sheets

The ability of a fastener, screw, bolt to deform before breaking. Similar to elongation.

The property of a metal that lets you give it a great deal of mechanical deformation without cracking.

 The ability of a material to deform plastically before fracture.

The property of metals that enables them to be mechanically deformed when cold, without fracture. In steel, ductility is usually measured by elongation and reduction of area as determined in a tensile [..]

Being capable of sustaining large plastic deformations without fracture. It is characterized by the material flowing under shear stress. Elastic deformation

is the ability of a metal to deform to a permanent position before it fractures.

A mechanical property that enables the metal to be drawn or lengthened without fracture.

A property of Material that allows it to yield or "bend before breaking."  Technically expressed by measurement records of Elongation and Reduction of Area determined as the result of a Tensile Test.

That property of a metal which permits its being drawn out into a thread or wire.

The ability of a mineral to be pulled into wire.

The capability of being able to stretched into a thin wire; being ductile.

Ductility generally refers to the amount of inelastic deformation which a material or structure experiences before complete failure. Quantitatively, ductility can be defined as the ratio of the total displacement or strain at failure, divided by the displacement or strain at the elastic limit.

Extent to which a material can sustain plastic deformation without rupture. Elongation and reduction of area are common indices of ductility.

The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing.

(physics) Ability of a material to be drawn out longitudinally to a reduced section without fracture under the action of a tensile force.
