Fogékonysága

Fogékonysága is a Hungarian term that translates to "malleability" or "ductility" in English. It refers to the physical property of a solid material to deform under compressive stress. This deformation can occur without fracturing or cracking. Materials that exhibit high fogékonysága can be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets.

The degree of fogékonysága is an important characteristic in material science and engineering. It influences how materials can be processed and shaped for various applications. For example, metals like gold, copper, and aluminum are known for their excellent fogékonysága, allowing them to be formed into intricate shapes, wires, and foils. The atomic structure of a material plays a significant role in its fogékonysága. In crystalline solids, the ability of atoms to slide past one another along specific planes is crucial for deformation.

Understanding and measuring fogékonysága is essential for selecting appropriate materials in manufacturing. Different processes, such as forging, stamping, and rolling, rely on the material's ability to undergo plastic deformation without failure. While often used interchangeably with "ductility" (which refers to deformation under tensile stress), fogékonysága specifically emphasizes deformation under compression.
