Step-by-step explanation:

Ductility is the ability of a material to be drawn or plastically deformed without fracture. It is therefore an indication of how ‘soft’ or malleable the material is. The ductility of steels varies depending on the types and levels of alloying elements present. An increase in carbon, for example, will increase the strength but decrease the ductility.
