Something that is malleable can be changed or altered.

In the context of Metallurgy, the term refers specifically to the state in which metal can be hammered into a new shape, which it will hold after being cooled and tempered.

The word malleable can mean several different things, depending on the context:

  • Having the ability to be flattened, beaten, or hammered into a sheet, like gold or other flexible substances.
  • Able to be changed, molded, or reshaped. Clay is malleable.
  • A malleable mind, is one ready to accept new information and change perspective and opinion, as opposed to a hard-headed inflexible person, for example.
