Default Tensile Strength Question

Thanks ,

That makes much more sense!

Cam.


Youngs modulus is virtually independent of alloy and heat treat
condition. The load vs elongation will be "the same" if they are the
same size.


I was wondering when someone was going to point this out.

The slope of the stress /strain curve is independent of heat treatment. Both stretch the same
amount with the same force applied. The stronger stuff just stretches further before it breaks.
