Malleability, a similar mechanical property, is characterized by a material's ability to deform plastically without failure under compressive stress. [8] [9] Historically, materials were considered malleable if they were amenable to forming by hammering or rolling. [10] Lead is an example of a material which is relatively malleable but not ductile.
The image of the gold sheet shows malleability not ductility. Does anyone have an image showing ductility? Stephen B Streater 07:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC) The current image should be removed then if it doesn't reflect ductility. Wizard191 12:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
The freedom of electrons to migrate also gives metal atoms, or layers of them, the capacity to slide past each other. Locally, bonds can easily be broken and replaced by new ones after a deformation. This process does not affect the communal metallic bonding very much, which gives rise to metals' characteristic malleability and ductility. This ...

Malleability is often an undesirable property in a general-purpose cryptosystem, since it allows an attacker to modify the contents of a message. For example, suppose that a bank uses a stream cipher to hide its financial information, and a user sends an encrypted message containing, say, "TRANSFER $0000100.00 TO ACCOUNT #199."
