Which of the following is the important mechanical property for a material to be forged or rolled into thin sheets successfully? Correct Answer Malleability

Malleability

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 of temperature.

Malleability is the ability of a metal to exhibit large deformation or plastic response when being subjected to a compressive force.

 

Ductility

Ductility is the property of the material that enables it to be drawn out or elongated to an appreciable extent before rupture occurs.

Brittleness

Brittleness is the opposite of ductility. Brittle materials show little deformation before fracture and failure occur suddenly without any warning i.e. it is the property of breaking without much permanent distortion.
