Abstract
Metals are useful partly because they can bend permanently before they break, i.e. they can deform plastically. Metal plasticity is usually evaluated by measurement of the percentage elongation during tensile testing and the result is referred to as the ductility of the material. Ductility of structural metals is typically 10-50% at ambient temperature and perhaps attains 100% at elevated temperatures .
