the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped under pressure without breaking
The property that determines the ease of deforming a metal when the metal is subjected to rolling or hammering The more malleable metals can be hammered or rolled into thin sheet more easily than others
The property by virtue of which a material can be extended in all directions without rupture by the application of load
A metal's capability to withstand the compression of being rolled or hammer formed
It can be defined as the property of a metal to be deformed by compression without cracking or rupturing The load may be applied slowly or suddenly and will determine whether the material will be suitable for forging or rolling into thin sheet
