metallide ja sulamite võime muuta vormi plastse deformeerimise tulemusena (vrd vormitavus)
Hea teada
Metalli või sulami omadus olla survega töödeldav. Terminit survetöödeldavus kasutatakse nii maht- kui lehtvormimise korral (vt mahtvormimine; vrd lehtvormimine).
the ease with which a material can be shaped through plastic deformation in bulk forming processes (compare: formability)
Hea teada
The property of being workable. The term workability is used interchangeably with formability. However, formability refers to the shaping of sheet metal, while workability refers to shaping materials in bulk forming (see: bulk forming; compare: sheet forming).
