Lern More About Ductile

Ductile :: Ductile (a.) Capable of being elongated or drawn out, as into wire or threads..
Gold :: Gold (v. t.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7..
Tensible :: Tensible (a.) Capable of being extended or drawn out; ductile; tensible.
Stretch :: Stretch (v. i.) To be extended, or to bear extension, without breaking, as elastic or ductile substances..
Inductile :: Inductile (a.) Not ductile; incapable of being drawn into threads, as a metal; inelastic; tough..
Lead :: Lead (n.) One of the elements, a heavy, pliable, inelastic metal, having a bright, bluish color, but easily tarnished. It is both malleable and ductile, though with little tenacity, and is used for tubes, sheets, bullets, etc. Its specific gravity is 11.37. It is easily fusible, forms alloys with other metals, and is an ingredient of solder and type metal. Atomic weight, 206.4. Symbol Pb (L. Plumbum). It is chiefly obtained from the mineral galena, lead sulphide..
Productile :: Productile (a.) Capable of being extended or prolonged; extensible; ductile.
Isodulcite :: Isodulcite (n.) A white, crystalline, sugarlike substance, obtained by the decomposition of certain glucosides, and intermediate in nature between the hexacid alcohols (ductile, mannite, etc.) and the glucoses..
Magnesium :: Magnesium (n.) A light silver-white metallic element, malleable and ductile, quite permanent in dry air but tarnishing in moist air. It burns, forming (the oxide) magnesia, with the production of a blinding light (the so-called magnesium light) which is used in signaling, in pyrotechny, or in photography where a strong actinic illuminant is required. Its compounds occur abundantly, as in dolomite, talc, meerschaum, etc. Symbol Mg. Atomic weight, 24.4. Specific gravity, 1.75..
Copper :: Copper (n.) A common metal of a reddish color, both ductile and malleable, and very tenacious. It is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Symbol Cu. Atomic weight 63.3. It is one of the most useful metals in itself, and also in its alloys, brass and bronze..
Ductile :: Ductile (a.) Easily led; tractable; complying; yielding to motives, persuasion, or instruction; as, a ductile people..
Sequacious :: Sequacious (a.) Hence, ductile; malleable; pliant; manageable..
Cerium :: Cerium (n.) A rare metallic element, occurring in the minerals cerite, allanite, monazite, etc. Symbol Ce. Atomic weight 141.5. It resembles iron in color and luster, but is soft, and both malleable and ductile. It tarnishes readily in the air..
Tractile :: Tractile (a.) Capable of being drawn out in length; ductile.
Platinum :: Platinum (n.) A metallic element, intermediate in value between silver and gold, occurring native or alloyed with other metals, also as the platinum arsenide (sperrylite). It is heavy tin-white metal which is ductile and malleable, but very infusible, and characterized by its resistance to strong chemical reagents. It is used for crucibles, for stills for sulphuric acid, rarely for coin, and in the form of foil and wire for many purposes. Specific gravity 21.5. Atomic weight 194.3. Symbol Pt. Fo
Tensile :: Tensile (a.) Capable of extension; ductile; tensible.
Facile :: Facile (a.) Easily persuaded to good or bad; yielding; ductile to a fault; pliant; flexible.
Eager :: Eager (a.) Brittle; inflexible; not ductile.
Irretractile :: Irretractile (a.) Not tractile or ductile.
Cadmium :: Cadmium (n.) A comparatively rare element related to zinc, and occurring in some zinc ores. It is a white metal, both ductile and malleable. Symbol Cd. Atomic weight 111.8. It was discovered by Stromeyer in 1817, who named it from its association with zinc or zinc ore..
