NounNoun
A word that functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.
The ability of a material, particularly metal or structural components, to undergo significant permanent plastic deformation or elongation without fracturing when subjected to tensile stress. This mechanical property indicates a substance's capacity to withstand tension before reaching a total structural failure.
Synonyms & Variants
daya regang
The ability of a material to withstand tensile loads until plastic deformation occurs.
kelenturan
Refers to physical flexibility in general.
keuletan
A more commonly used Indonesian equivalent.
plastisitas
The tendency of a material to undergo permanent shape changes under stress.
elastisitas
Often considered similar although technically different in physics.
regangan
Technical term closely related to the process of ductility.
kekenyalan

Usage Notes or Etymology
This word is a loanword from English ductility which originates from the Latin ductilis. In technical contexts, it refers to the mechanical properties of materials. Its usage is highly specific to metallurgy and civil engineering to describe the elasticity of metals. The term is frequently used formally in technical reports or academic discussions regarding structural integrity.
Real-world Usage
