inom materialvetenskapen handlar smidbarhet om huruvida ett material kan deformeras vid tryckspänning, vilket ofta kännetecknas av att materialet kan hamras eller valsas till en tunn plåt.
in material science ‘malleability’ refers to a material’s ability to deform under compressive stress which is often characterised by the material’s ability to form a thin sheet by hammering or rolling.
det kan dock noteras att duktilitet och smidbarhet inte alltid sammanfaller – guld är t.ex. både duktilt och smidbart, medan bly bara är smidbart.
however, it is noted that ductility and malleability do not always correlate with each other; for instance, gold is both ductile and malleable, but lead is only malleable.
