What is malleability

Jun 07, 2022

Malleability is a metal’s ability to resist breaking or cracking when hammered, pressed or rolled. Malleability is measured by how much pressure or compressive stress a metal can handle. The molecules of solid metals have a very regular crystal lattice structure. The differences in each metal's crystalline structure is why the malleability of each metal or metal alloy is different.
