The Plasticity of a material is its ability to undergo some degree of permanent deformation without rupture or failure. Plastic Deformation will take place only after the elastic range has been exceeded.
Plasticity is important in forming , shaping , extruding , and many other hot or cold working processes. Materials such as clay, lead , etc. are plastic at room temperature and steel is plastic when at bright heat. In general, plasticity increases with increasing temperature.
