Malleability
Physical properties
Relates to materials that can change shape easily when a force is applied.
Copper's malleability makes it perfect for crafting intricate designs.
Not unbreakable
While malleable materials bend, they're not indestructible and can be damaged with enough force.
Despite its malleability, the metal pipe cracked under extreme pressure.
Heat sometimes needed
Some materials become malleable when heated, like glass or certain metals.
The malleability of the glass increased once it was heated in the kiln.
