Question

difference between Malleability and ductility​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ductility has to do with tensile stress, whereas malleability deals with compressive stress. Materials such as lead are very malleable and can be hammered into shape with little chance of fracturing, but they are not ductile and will easily fracture if pulled from two opposite directions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Malleability -

The property which allows the metals to be hammered into thin sheets is called malleability.

Ductility-

The property which allows the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called ductility.

Differences-

• Ductility and malleability are properties of metals that show specific characteristics. It is the ductility and malleability property that helps the metals to deform.

• Ductility is said to be the property of a material to stretch without getting damaged. Metals having ductile property can be stretched into wires. An example is copper wire.

• Malleability is said to be the property of a material to deform under compression. The metals having malleable property can be rolled or beaten into sheets. An example is aluminium foil.

• In more simple words, ductility means stretching to wires and malleability means beating to sheets.

• Ductility means that a metal can be changed to another form by pulling, compression or twisting. On the other hand, Malleability means that a metal
• Can be changed into another form by beating or hitting it hard.

• Ductility also refers to the ability of a metal to change its form under tensile stress. Malleability refers to the ability of a metal to change its form under compressive stress.
