Metals are a common type of ductile material. Copper, aluminum, and steel are examples of ductile metals. The opposite of ductility is brittleness, where a material breaks when tensile stress is applied to lengthen it. Examples of brittle materials include cast iron, concrete, and some glass products. Bridges made with ductile metals, metalsmithing, and jewelry making are real-life applications involving the use of ductility.
