Young Modulus of Elasticity for Metals and Alloys
Elastic properties and Youngs modulus for common metals and alloys as cast iron, carbon steel and more
Sponsored Links
It is convenient to express the elasticity of a material with the ratio stress to strain, a parameter also termed the tensile elastic modulus or Young's modulus of the material. This is usually given the symbol - E.
The Young's modulus of some common metals at different temperatures can be found in the diagram and table below.
- 1 psi (lb/in2) = 1 psi (lb/in2) = 144 psf (lbf/ft2) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m2) = 6.895x10-3 N/mm2
- T(oC) = 5/9[T(oF) - 32]
