Ruben Mcfarland · Answer 1

a) the amount of elastic deformation that can be sustained before yielding

Explanation:

ductil material is understood as the one that undergoes great deformations before breaking, it's a property that as such manifests itself once the material is supporting a considerable force.

about the ductility of a material:

→ the percentage of elongation

→ the percentage reduction in the area
