Ship construction uses low/med carbon steel with a relatively high ductility. Ship's need to be able to deform elastically with the hydrodynamic forces. Springs are definitely another ductile metal. Elongation is increased with more ductile materials in the elastic region. Once the onset of plastic deformation occurs, there is no going back (without damage).

What are the uses for ductile metals?

Ductile metals are used in applications where flexibility is important, such as in construction, manufacturing, and engineering. They are commonly used in piping systems, electrical wiring, and tool making due to their ability to bend without breaking. Additionally, ductile metals are used in jewelry and artistic work for their malleability and ability to be shaped into intricate designs.
