If it's a property of a metal, it's referring to the metal's ductility. Metals like silver and copper have a high ductility - meaning they can be drawn into wires by a mandrel quite easily. Titanium has a very low ductility - meaning the metal will tend to break if drawn.

"ductile" (adj., ductility n.). It is defined as: malleable enough to be worked: able to be drawn out into wire or hammered into very thin sheets
