DUCT has various meanings in the Science category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of DUCT in Science.
A metal capable of being drawn into wire or thread. The ability of a substance to be drawn out to form a thin wire. A ductile material can be drawn out into wire. Of a rock, flowing plastically in response to stress. Capable of being drawn into wire. Metals are typically ductile materials. Property of a metal in which it can be stretched without breaking. OR The extent to which a solid material can be drawn into a thinner cross section.
ScienceThe ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing. Is the ability of a material to withstand large inelastic deformations without fracture. Structural steel has considerable ductility. A qualitative, subjective property of material that indicates the extent to which it can be deformed without fracture in metalworking operations such as rolling, extrusion, fabrication, etc. It is generally expressed as total permanent strain prior to fracture, measured as elongation or reduction of area during tensile testing.
