Malleable material

Tenacity The cohesiveness of a material or how it behaves under tension and compression. Common forms of tenacity include brittle (breaks and powders easily), malleable (material can be hammered into sheets), sectile (material can be cut into thin layers with a knife), and ductile (the material can be drawn into a wire). 

Malleable materials can be beaten into sheets. Ductile materials can be pulled into wires. Lustrous materials have a shine. Oxides, hydrides, and halides are compounds with 0, H, and halogens respectively. Measures of intermolecular attractions other than melting point are also higher for metal oxides, hydrides, and halides than for the nonmetal compounds. A dopant is a small quantity of an intentionally added impurity. The controlled movement of electrons in doped silicon semiconductors carries digital information in computer circuitry. 

The process of smelting seemed like a kind of magic. By heating bits of rock, people could produce a shiny, malleable material. Things like clay, wood, or stone could be shaped only once, their properties set and unchangeable,... 

In general, it is easier to separate briquettes made from brittle materials, such as minerals, particularly if strong briquettes are immediately produced. It is most difficult to separate briquettes made from soft, elastic, or malleable materials and those that gain final strength only after curing. 

Malleable materials can be beaten into sheets. Ductile materials can be pulled into wires. Lustrous materials have a shine. Oxides, hydrides, and halides are compounds with O, H, and halogens respectively. 

A malleable material can be rolled or hammered permanently into a different shape without fracturing. This property is required when forging.

A room. The back wall appears to be solid but is made of malleable material such as cloth. Behind it is another wall which exactly resembles the first wall but is solid. A kitchen table and chair, both wood. (T, p. 154)... 

Mixture of powerful explosives such as RDX, PETN, HMX with a plasticizer to yield a plastic and malleable material... 

A malleable material can be rolled or hammered permanently into a different shape without fracturing. This property is required when forging, where the shape of the metal is changed by hammering. Lead is a malleable material, as it can easily be shaped by hammering, but is not ductile since it is not strong enough to withstand a load if attempted to be drawn into wire. Heat may be used to make a material more malleable. 

The document AD-Merkblatt W 6/1 Aluminium and aluminium alloys malleable materials from May 1982, published by the Vereinigung der technischen Uberwachungsver-eine e.V., D-4300 Essen 1, fixes the limit at 80 °C for the alloy AlMg4.5Mn, which is... 

Conductance between dry, rough surfaces is much worse in a vacuum than in air. Such a contact can be improved by the use of thermal grease - generally filled with a metal oxide. On the other hand, use of a thermal grease degrades the conductance if the surfaces are very flat, smooth, and/or of malleable materials (copper to indium, for example). 

In manufacturing, the term is used to describe materials that can be molded—either by pouring a liquid into a mold and letting it cure into a solid, or by using heat and pressure to transform a malleable material into another shape. Collectively, these materials are referred to as plastics, or as plastic materials. Fortunately—and perhaps not coincidentally—most plastic materials also exhibit plastic behavior in use. While there are plastic materials that can be found in nature (such as latex rubber), most plastic materials are man-made, synthesized by combining various organic source materials.
