History of Electrum. This gold-silver alloy has a long history of being used by humans. It was used for different purposes since third millennium BC. However, the variation in the gold and silver contents of this alloy made it difficult to decide the value of each coin.
Malleability is the ability of materials to deform easily under compressive stress. This can be often characterized as materials ability to form thin sheets by hammering or rolling. On the other hand, Ductility is the ability of materials to deform easily under tensile stress.
Malleability is how malleable an object is, for example a metal is malleable as it can be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking. Ductility is how ductile a â¦ n object is, again many metals are ductile as they can be drawn or pulled into a long strand of wire without breaking.ell one of the physical properties of metals is being ductile and zinc is a metal so the answer is yes= not really Zinc is hard and brittle which makes it hard to stretch it. â¦ Tungsten is a metal and is to hard to even try to turn into a wire. 6 people found this useful.
