ductility; the property of a material that allows it to be drawn into thin wires without breaking
A technical term in materials science and metallurgy describing the ability of metals and other materials to undergo significant plastic deformation under tensile stress before rupture. Distinguished from malleability (展性), which refers to deformation under compressive stress.
