The word "ductility" in example sentences

Silver has always been selected for the better household utensils, not only on account of its beauty, but also because of its ductility, which is desirable in making larger vessels; its value, too, is less than that of gold, so that articles which would be quite out of the reach of most householders, if made in gold, become very available in silver. ❋ Julia De Wolf Gibbs Addison (N/A)

Commonly, the term "ductility" is used to refer to both concepts, as they are very similar. ❋ Unknown (2009)

"ductility," the ability to adapt to high-pressure loads. ❋ Unknown (2008)

To resist heat checking, die materials should have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, high hot yield strength, good temper softening resistance, high creep strength, and adequate ductility. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The ductility of the columns—that is, their ability to deform under stress without breaking—and the asymmetrical layout of the shear walls, which are meant to resist horizontal force, were found to have not met the building standards of the day, it said. ❋ Rebecca Howard (2012)

The weight, ductility and imperishability of gold, for example, have underpinned its status as a substance of beauty, value and permanence since antiquity. ❋ Mike Jay (2011)

"Our three North American automotive continuous-annealing lines, as well as some of our continuous-galvanizing lines, are capable of making the third-generation advanced high-strength steels that exhibit tensile strengths over 1,000 Megapascals with good ductility," says Blake Zuidema , director for automotive production applications at ArcelorMittal. ❋ John W. Miller (2012)

These composites combine the ductility, fracture toughness and plasticity of conventional metals with the high strength of pure BMG. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Like the 7-series, the Ghost is a steel-bodied car with the approximate ductility of a submarine hatch. ❋ Dan Neil (2010)

Silicon-aluminum alloys tend to have relatively low strength and ductility, so other metals, especially magnesium and copper, are often added to improve strength. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Priestley interpreted them in terms of phlogiston — the hypothetical principle of flammability that was thought to give metals their luster and ductility and was widely used in the early eighteenth century to explain combustion, calcination, smelting, respiration, and other chemical processes. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Is not now ductility to be added to his former idea, and made part of the essence of the species that name ❋ Unknown (2007)

Another perhaps added to these the ideas of fusibility and fixedness, two other passive powers, in relation to the operation of fire upon it; another, its ductility and solubility in aqua regia, two other powers, relating to the operation of other bodies, in changing its outward figure, or separation of it into insensible parts. ❋ Unknown (2007)

For, though in the substance of gold one satisfies himself with colour and weight, yet another thinks solubility in aqua regia as necessary to be joined with that colour in his idea of gold, as any one does its fusibility; solubility in aqua regia being a quality as constantly joined with its colour and weight as fusibility or any other; others put into it ductility or fixedness, ❋ Unknown (2007)

And, more important, we ought to be able to assert with certainty that if some object has the greatest ductility, then it also has the greatest weight. ❋ Look, Brandon C. (2007)

There are different measurements of the physical property of wires: maleability, tensile strength, ductility, etc. ❋ Dr. Dean Brandon (2006)
