High strength, low Young's modulus

High strength, low Young's modulus

High strength, low Young's modulus

(OP)
Hi,

I am looking for fairly strong materials with particularly high yield stress to Young's modulus ratio. Do you have any suggestions?

RE: High strength, low Young's modulus

try google

We don't do searches, we expect to help with problems but your post suggests you've done nothing for yourself.

Titanium Beta C alloy.

RE: High strength, low Young's modulus

I was thinking rubber.

Thanks for the replies!

Titanium Beta C seems a bit fragile for my particular application, -it does not wear well. I'm currently considering ADI treated cast iron, which has a high yield stress and low E-modulus. Other ideas?

RE: High strength, low Young's modulus

For low mod stay with Al, Ti, or Cu based alloys. Any Fe based alloy will be >28kksi.
How about BeCu?
