Benchmarks/Metals and alloys

Strength of metals: yield and tensile strength compared

properties/strength-of-metals

Yield strength, tensile strength and density of steels, stainless steels, aluminium, titanium, copper and nickel alloys, ranked from sourced values. Ranges run across temper and heat treatment. Ranked by the column you pick. Measured values come first; calculated values are labeled, and predictions are never mixed in as measurements.

Severity is the editors' reading of the cited sources, not a safety certification. "none listed" means no sourced failure risk has been entered, which is not the same as safe.

How to read this

  • Measured values come from a test or a flight. Calculated values are worked out from the material's formula. Prediction values come from a model.
  • no data means nobody has published a value we could source. It does not mean zero.
  • Material values describe the active material. Cell values describe a finished cell, which varies by manufacturer. Check the conditions before comparing cell values.
  • Every value links to its source, with the place in the source where it can be found.
