What is ductility ? class 8 science que...​

Answer 1

Ductility is the ability of an object to be drawn or deformed without breaking. It is therefore an indication of how ‘something’ is soft.

• Ductility is a mechanical structure that is often defined as the ability to draw something (eg a wire). In materials science, ductility is defined as the degree to which an object can support the deterioration of plastic under pressure before solidification.
• Ductility is an important consideration in engineering and manufacturing, which defines the suitability of an asset in certain manufacturing activities (such as a cold operation) and its ability to absorb mechanical fullness. Other metals commonly described as ductile include gold and copper. However, not all metals experience ductile failure as some may be characterized by strong failures as pointed metals. Polymers can generally be considered as materials as they generally allow for the modification of plastics

Answer 2

Ductility is described below:

• Metals have a characteristic property called ductility which is also their physical property.
• When metals are subjected to tensile stress, rather than breaking down, they are deformed into thin shapes or converted into wire-like shapes.
• They primarily acquire cylindrical forms that are then employed in wires.
• This feature is mostly exploited to create metal wires that are excellent conductors.
• Copper wires, for example, are created by the ductile nature of metal.
