Ductility

Key Stage 3

Ductility is how easily a material can be stretched into wires.

The more ductile the easier it is to stretch into wires.

Metals are usually very ductile materials.

Ductility is the ease with which a material can be stretched into wires.

The more ductile the easier it is to stretch into wires.

Metals are usually very ductile materials.

A ductile material stretches easily without breaking.

Ductile materials can be drawn into thin wires without breaking.
Ductile materials exhibit significant plastic deformation before fracture.
High ductility is associated with metals like gold, silver, and copper.
Ductile materials are important in applications where flexibility and the ability to withstand tensile stress are required.
