Malleability is a physical property of metals that defines their ability to be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets without breaking. In other words, it is the property of a metal to deform under compression and take on a new shape.Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron, aluminum, copper, silver, and lead. Gold and silver are highly malleable.
