ductility
- noun
- /dʌkˈtɪlɪti/
- Specialized
- In addition, increasing the thickness of the steel face plates also slightly increased the ductility of SCS sandwich walls.
- high ductility
- ductility and toughness
- strength and ductility
The materials themselves will lose hardness and ductility and strength.
- The materials themselves will lose hardness and ductility and strength.
- You, you, you know, what's happened is I've taken away ductility, so I've made it more brittle.
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.
