  • Malleability: Definition, Examples & Importance in Materials
    Malleable means capable of being shaped or bent, especially by hammering or pressing, without breaking. For example, gold and silver are both malleable metals.

    Here are some additional examples of malleable materials:

    * Copper

    * Aluminum

    * Lead

    * Tin

    * Zinc

    * Brass

    * Bronze

    * Steel

    * Iron

    * Nickel

    * Titanium

    Malleability is an important property for materials that are used in construction, such as metals, because it allows them to be shaped into different forms without breaking. It is also important for materials that are used in jewelry and other decorative applications, such as gold and silver, because it allows them to be shaped into intricate designs.
