Metals that have high ductility include gold, platinum, silver and iron. Low ductility metals include tungsten and steels with high amounts of carbon. Polymers are usually ductile; however there are brittle polymers available. Ceramics are typically brittle.
Which of the material has maximum ductility?
Ductility: Ductility is the property by which a metal can be drawn into thin wires. It is determined by percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area of a metal. Mild Steel has maximum ductility.
What are examples of ductility?
Copper, aluminum, and steel are examples of ductile metals. The opposite of ductility is brittleness, where a material breaks when tensile stress is applied to lengthen it. Examples of brittle materials include cast iron, concrete, and some glass products.
