What is a Plasticity?

Answer: 

• Ductile and malleable materials are those that are claimed to shift in shape and can be compressed.
• The modifications made in these are not long-lasting.
• The plasticity of a material is defined as its ability to permanently change its shape or deform under the application of force or stress.
• The ductility and malleability of the material are necessary for this plasticity. These distortions cannot be changed back to their original states and are irreversible.
• The amount of applied stress is mild and falls between elastic nature and transient deformation.
• Additionally, the material must not break or rupture as a result of the change that is induced.
• When a substance is flexible, it caused, often, by subjecting it to high pressure and temperature.
