What is the value of Young's modulus for aluminum 6061?

Answer 1

Depending on which source you consult, the expected value is betwen 120 and 130 Gpa. On the net it is possible to find the answer in psi (pounds per square inch) but I assume you require a value in SI units. We have just done a classroom experiment which returned a value of about 80 GPa. The stress strain graph looked like a typical ductile material graph, straght line followed by a curve as defopration became plastic. Our value was obtained using the eleastic straight line section. I suspect our low value was due to some 'give' in the anchorage of the specimen wire.

Answer 2

That depends on the temper ( heat treat). For anneled condition (T0) it is 8000 psi and for T6 condition, which is usual specification, it is 35,000 psi. It is in between those values for other tempers between T1 and T5

Answer 3

10.5 million psi at 21 deg C, goes down with temperature. See: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/young-modulus-d_773.html

Answer 4

the young's modulus of aluminium is 0.675 * 105

this can also be called as the modulus of elasticity

Answer 5

It depends on the heat treat and type but in general modulus is the same as most all aluminum - around 10.2 million psi or 70.3 GPa

Answer 6

About 65 to 75 GPa

Answer 7

68,600 MPa
