Malleability

Science and Technology

Malleability is a physical property that describes a material’s ability to deform under compressive stress, typically by hammering or rolling, without fracturing. In engineeri...

Metallic bonds are effectively malleable because delocalized electrons allow metal atoms to slide past one another without losing bonding, enabling deformation under stress whil...
