Is a mechanical property that describes how a material can be deformed in the plastic region without deformation.
So simply how much you can bend and squish a material often metal without it breaking.

Ductility Definition

ductility is defined to be the final strain under the stress strain curve before it's fracture. the material pass the plastic zone and pass the ultimate load and until it eventually break at the fracture point.
the fracture point of the stress strain curve have something to do with toughness and toughness has something to do with temperature and ductility.
the larger the strain, the more ductile the material.
at fracture, energy is absorbed into the material so it wouldn't break right away like the moment connect in beams and columns.
the ductility acts like a spring absorber in the panel zone of the connection.
it also acts like the bumper of an automobile to a steel building.
concrete is brittle, but when u add steel reinforcement to it, it becomes ductile.

it means the malleability of something. So basically if an object can be made into threads or hammered into thin sheets its said to be very ductile.

not sure about a proper physics-language definition, but i believe a ductile material is one that can be drawn into wires?

Ductility can be defined as: "The ability of a material to be plastically deformed by elongation, without fracture" This is not the same as elasticity, where the substance returns to its former shape after being elongated. If you pull on a spring, it will return to its original shape, but if you elongate it too far, it will not return to its original shape, but be permanently deformed. That is ductile deformation. "Limited ductility" is having a small amount of ductility, thus not being very prone to plastic deformation

Easily drawn into wire or hammered thin:
