    Malleability is a property of a metal to be rolled into thin sheets. The ability of a metal to undergo plastic deformation under compressive stresses without having any fractures is called as malleability.

    Gold, iron, aluminium etc are types of malleable metals which can be rolled into thin sheets. These metals usual bend and twist into various shapes.
