1. Definition: Ductile material is one that can be drawn into thin wires.
2. Ductility is one of the important characteristics of metals.
3. Ductile metals include $\mathrm{copper}\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right),\mathrm{aluminium}\left(\mathrm{Al}\right),\mathrm{magnesium}\left(\mathrm{Mg}\right),\mathrm{iron}\left(\mathrm{Fe}\right)\mathrm{and}\mathrm{tungsten}\left(\mathrm{W}\right).$
4. The most ductile metals on earth are $\mathrm{gold}\left(\mathrm{Au}\right)\mathrm{and}\mathrm{platinum}\left(\mathrm{Pt}\right)$, but $\mathrm{gold}$ is considerably more ductile than $\mathrm{platinum}$.
