Ductility is the property of metal which is used to make

Concept:

• Malleability is the property by virtue of which a material may be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without rupture. This property generally increases with the increase in temperature.
• Malleability is the ability of a metal to exhibit large deformation or plastic response when being subjected to compressive force.
• Lead, soft steel, wrought iron, copper, and aluminum are some materials in order of diminishing malleability.
• Ductility is the property of the material that enables it to be drawn out or elongated to an appreciable extent before rupture occurs.
• The percentage elongation or percentage reduction in area before rupture of a test specimen is the measure of ductility. Normally if the percentage elongation exceeds 15% the material is ductile and if it is less than 5% the material is brittle.
• Lead, copper, aluminum, and mild steel are typical ductile materials.
• Brittleness is opposite to ductility. Brittle materials show little deformation before fracture and failure occurs suddenly without any warning i.e. it is the property of breaking without much permanent distortion. Normally if the elongation is less than 5% the material is brittle. E.g. cast iron, glass, ceramics are typical brittle materials.

Explanation:

From the above explanation we can see that ductility of metal is the property that enables it to be drawn out or elongated to an appreciable extent before rupture occurs.

Because of this property we can create long metal wires.
