The word ductility means to be ductile, that is, it is a surface that has the ability to modify its structure by exerting a powerful force on it, thus allowing the formation of a duct (hole) or changing shape without breaking or breaking, an example of these materials is asphalt, metallic objects, among others.
On the contrary, the elements that lack ductility are designated the nickname of brittle, for example the materials of glass, anime, ceramics, etc.; Ductile materials have a high degree of resistance since, their atoms have the capacity of spreading, that is, they slide one over the other allowing the deformation of the material but not its destruction, despite all the materials with the capacity to ductility can be broken for this a high power force is needed.
Due to their strength, these materials can last for a long time and are capable of withstanding a lot of use by handlers. An area where this term is widely used is in metallurgy, these allow the classification of metals by measuring their ductility, metals are subjected to a traction force by means of a machine, this evaluation is described as a "traction test" , According to this, metals that have undergone some modification in their structure before breaking are designated as ductile, on the contrary metals that have been broken without achieving any modification are classified as brittle. The process of measuring ductility in a metal is achieved by applyingresilience, this is an external process that is carried out to achieve deforming a matter.
