Question

What is malleability?

Answer 1

Malleability:

• “The property of metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability.”
• The metals that can be beaten into sheets are Gold, Silver, Iron, or Copper.
• Malleability deals with compressive stress rather than tensile stress.
• A metal's malleability can be measured by how much compressive stress, it can hold without breaking.
