Ductility
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Ductile)
Ductility is the physical property of being capable of sustaining large plastic deformations without fracture (in metals, such as being drawn into a wire). It is characterized by the material flowing under shear stress.
A ductile material is any material that fails under shear stress (as opposed to brittle fracture).
