Malleability is a substance's ability to deform under pressure (compressive stress). Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron, aluminum, copper, silver, and lead. Gold and silver are highly  malleable. When a piece of hot iron is hammered it takes the shape of a sheet.
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 term "ductile" literally means that a metal substance is capable of being stretched into a thin wire without becoming weaker. Copper, aluminum, and steel are examples of ductile metals.
