Flexibility
The ability of a material to be bent or deformed without damage.
A measure of the adaptability of materials
The bendability of a material describes its ability to deform under a certain load without breaking or suffering permanent damage. This process is particularly important when selecting materials for constructions that require flexibility and elasticity. Materials with high bendability, such as some metals, can be shaped into various forms without losing their structure, making them particularly suitable for many industrial applications.
