Productile :: Productile (a.) Capable of being extended or prolonged; extensible; ductile.

Tombac :: Tombac (n.) An alloy of copper and zinc, resembling brass, and containing about 84 per cent of copper; -- called also German, / Dutch, brass. It is very malleable and ductile, and when beaten into thin leaves is sometimes called Dutch metal. The addition of arsenic makes white tombac..

Stretch :: Stretch (v. i.) To be extended, or to bear extension, without breaking, as elastic or ductile substances..

Eager :: Eager (a.) Brittle; inflexible; not ductile.

Ductile :: Ductile (a.) Capable of being elongated or drawn out, as into wire or threads..

Irretractile :: Irretractile (a.) Not tractile or ductile.

Sequacious :: Sequacious (a.) Hence, ductile; malleable; pliant; manageable..

Nickel :: Nickel (n.) A bright silver-white metallic element. It is of the iron group, and is hard, malleable, and ductile. It occurs combined with sulphur in millerite, with arsenic in the mineral niccolite, and with arsenic and sulphur in nickel glance. Symbol Ni. Atomic weight 58.6..

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..

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..

Inductile :: Inductile (a.) Not ductile; incapable of being drawn into threads, as a metal; inelastic; tough..

Facile :: Facile (a.) Easily persuaded to good or bad; yielding; ductile to a fault; pliant; flexible.

Tensile :: Tensile (a.) Capable of extension; ductile; tensible.

Silver :: Silver (n.) A soft white metallic element, sonorous, ductile, very malleable, and capable of a high degree of polish. It is found native, and also combined with sulphur, arsenic, antimony, chlorine, etc., in the minerals argentite, proustite, pyrargyrite, ceragyrite, etc. Silver is one of the noble metals, so-called, not being easily oxidized, and is used for coin, jewelry, plate, and a great variety of articles. Symbol Ag (Argentum). Atomic weight 107.7. Specific gravity 10.5..

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

Tilt :: Tilt (v. t.) To hammer or forge with a tilt hammer; as, to tilt steel in order to render it more ductile..
