  • Malleable Materials: Properties, Examples & Applications
    Substances that can be hammered or rolled into sheets are called malleable.

    Here's why:

    * Malleability is a physical property of a material that allows it to deform under compressive stress without fracturing. This means the material can be shaped without breaking.

    * Hammering and rolling are processes that apply compressive stress to a material, making them ideal for testing malleability.

    Examples of malleable materials include:

    * Metals: Gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and many more.

    * Some alloys: Brass, bronze, etc.
