  • Ductility and Malleability in Metals: Understanding Metal Shaping
    The property of metals that allows them to be rolled without breaking is ductility.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Ductility is the ability of a material to deform under tensile stress without fracturing. This means the metal can be stretched or drawn into a thin wire without breaking.

    * Malleability, a closely related property, refers to the ability of a metal to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking.

    Both ductility and malleability are important properties that allow metals to be shaped and formed into useful objects.
