- Ductile - a. - Easily led; tractable; complying; yielding to motives, persuasion, or instruction; as, a ductile people.
- Ductile - a. - Capable of being elongated or drawn out, as into wire or threads.
- Platinum - n. - A metallic element, intermediate in value between silver and gold, occurring native or alloyed with other metals, also as the platinum arsenide (sperrylite). It is heavy tin-white metal which is ductile and malleable, but very infusible, and characterized by its resistance to strong chemical reagents. It is used for crucibles, for stills for sulphuric acid, rarely for coin, and in the form of foil and wire for many purposes. Specific gravity 21.5. Atomic weight 194.3. Symbol Pt. Formerly called platina.
- Ductile - a. - Easily led; tractable; complying; yielding to motives, persuasion, or instruction; as, a ductile people.
- Tilting - n. - The process by which blister steel is rendered ductile by being forged with a tilt hammer.
- Cadmium - n. - A comparatively rare element related to zinc, and occurring in some zinc ores. It is a white metal, both ductile and malleable. Symbol Cd. Atomic weight 111.8. It was discovered by Stromeyer in 1817, who named it from its association with zinc or zinc ore.
- Copper - n. - A common metal of a reddish color, both ductile and malleable, and very tenacious. It is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Symbol Cu. Atomic weight 63.3. It is one of the most useful metals in itself, and also in its alloys, brass and bronze.
- Stretch - v. i. - To be extended, or to bear extension, without breaking, as elastic or ductile substances.
- Facile - a. - Easily persuaded to good or bad; yielding; ductile to a fault; pliant; flexible.
