Light material with high Young's Modulus
Light material with high Young's Modulus
(OP)
Dear All
Would you have any suggestions for a material with high Youngs modulus but is relatively light, mild steel has 210GPa but is roughly 7850kg/m3 - I suppose I am into Carbon Fibre territory?
I need to keep the CSA fairly small.
regards
John

Silicon Carbide.
Is this homework?

The materials being listed are probably too exotic for our use.
Which is the best steel which is in general use?

However perhaps you should describe what you need to accomplish, rather than what you think you need. It seems likely that you are looking at the wrong material property for whatever problem you are trying to solve.

specially the PSZ material. I would look especially at the PSZy material. There are other ceramics than may work. The weight problem could be mitigated by using cylinders.
There are some metal foams that can be made stiffer than steel
We use a lot of Sapphire rods for guides for coining metal. We also have all types of ceramic guides for fiber production.

different alloys of steel will all have the same Youngs Modulus for all practical purposes.
What is CSA?

Try to provide some information related to your application that will get more meaningful responses. For example, loads (static, dynamic), potential failure modes, environment, temperatures range, applicable codes and standards, expected service life, quantities required (10 or 10,000?), consequences of failure (health, safety, environment, economic), budgetary constraints, design, analysis and testing resources at your disposal... and so on. I hope you get the idea.
