About

Ductility is a fundamental material property investigated within materials science and engineering, characterizing a solid material's ability to undergo significant plastic deformation under tensile stress before fracturing. It quantifies the extent to which a material can be drawn into a wire or stretched without losing structural integrity, reflecting its capacity to absorb energy and redistribute stress, which is crucial for material processing, structural design, and failure analysis.
