Workability

Workability refers to how easily and efficiently a material, particularly in construction or manufacturing, can be shaped, handled, and finished during processing. A highly workable material can be molded or manipulated with less effort, ensuring smoother application, better surface finish, and fewer problems during construction or production. Factors influencing workability include material composition, moisture content, temperature, and additives. In essence, it measures the ease with which a material can be worked with to achieve the desired form, consistency, and quality in the final product.
