AHD defines ductile as capable of being drawn into wire (said of metal) or capable of being easily molded or shaped; plastic. Tensile is defined as capable of being stretched; ductile. Both are adjectives; ductility and tensility are the corresponding nouns*. They're pretty close, but tensile sounds a little more general to me.
