Malleability describes a material that possesses a relatively large plastic region, in that it can be deformed, worked and reworked many times before it is likely to fail or become brittle. Formally it is defined by the degree to which a material can sustain plastic deformation specifically under compressive stress before it fails (as opposed to tensile strength).

Many metals are malleable such as zinc, iron, aluminium, copper, gold, and silver but it is a different characteristic to ductility, where a materials has the capacity to be drawn into a wire without fracturing such as aluminium, copper and magnesium alloys. Strong metals such as tungsten and high-carbon steel tend not to be malleable or ductile because the fail through brittleness, as does cast iron.
