materjali mehaaniline omadus - survejõudude toimel plastne deformeeritavus ilma purunemata (vrd venivus)
Hea teada
Iseloomustab metalli omadust õheneda ühetelgse surve toimel. Survedeformeeritavad metallid ja sulamid nt madalsüsinikterased on hästi sepistatavad ja valtsitavad.
the characteristic (mechanical property) that permits plastic deformation in compression without rupture (fracture) (compare: ductility)
Hea teada
Malleability refers to metal capacity for thinning and lateral expansion under uniaxial compression. Malleability enables the material to be easily rolled or hammered into thin sheets.
