Examples
-
Mechanical properties, as could be expected, are greatly affected by the sigma phase: the strength is increased, whereas the ductility is meanwhile lost.

Etymology
Ductility comes from the root duct which means 'to lead' or 'to draw', the same root you see in conduct. So a material with high ductility can be 'drawn' into thin wire or hammered into thin sheets without breaking.
