Sentence examples for ductility from inspiring English sources

This type of iron has limited ductility.

Nickel has a relatively high melting point of 1,453 °C (2,647 °F) and a face-centred cubic crystal structure, which gives the metal good ductility.

Metal matrices offer not only high-temperature resistance but also strength and ductility, or "bendability," which increases toughness.

Ordinarily, metal castings exhibit very little toughness, or ductility, and they are therefore prone to brittle fracture followed by catastrophic failure.

The term metal, however, is reserved for those chemical elements that possess two or more of the characteristic physical properties of metals (opacity, ductility, malleability, fusibility) and are also good conductors of heat and electricity.

The ability to undergo large permanent deformation before fracture is called ductility.

(1) Confining pressure increases the elasticity, strength (e.g., yield point and ultimate fracture stress), and ductility.

Usually, cold-rolled strip cannot be used as rolled, because it is too hard and has low ductility.

This will reduce the hardness somewhat but increase the ductility.

The importance of scrap quality becomes apparent when making steels of high ductility, which must have a total maximum content of residuals (i.e., copper, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and tin) of 0.2 percent.

A major impediment to wider use is their low ductility.
