    Mechanical Properties of A Metal: Ductility

    Uploaded by

    Ninfa Lansang
    The document discusses the mechanical property of ductility in metals. It defines ductility as a metal's ability to withstand tensile stress or pulling forces without fracturing. Ductile metals like copper, aluminum, and steel can be stretched into thin wires without becoming weaker or brittle. In contrast, brittle materials like cast iron, concrete and glass will fracture when subjected to tensile stresses. The document provides examples of ductile metals and brittle materials.

    MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

    OF A METAL

    DUCTILITY
    Ductility Explained: Tensile Stress
    and Metals
    Ductility
    is a measure of a metal's ability to
    withstand tensile stress—any force
    that pulls the two ends of a material
    away from each other. The game of
    tug-of-war provides a good example
    of tensile strength being applied to a
    rope. Ductility is the plastic
    deformation that occurs as a result
    of such types of strain. The term
    "ductile" literally means that a
    metal substance is capable of being
    stretched out into a thin wire, and it
    does not become weaker or become
    brittle in the process.
    EXAMPLES OF DUCTILE
    METALS.

    Copper, aluminum, and


    steel.The opposite of
    ductility is brittleness, where
    a material breaks when tensile
    stress is applied to lengthen
    it.
    Examples of brittle materials include cast iron,
    concrete, and some glass products.
