A New Book on the Ductility and Formability of Metals

In the world of metals, ductility emerges as a fundamental characteristic. It represents a metal’s ability to deform plastically before fracture occurs. In other words, the higher the ductility of a metal, the greater its capacity to undergo deformations without breaking. This property plays a crucial role in engineering and the production of metallic artifacts.
