Engineering ToolBox > Young Modulus of Elasticity for Metals and Alloys
It is convenient to express the elasticity of a material with the ratio stress to strain, a parameter also termed the tensile elastic modulus or Young's modulus of the material. This is usually given the symbol - E.
The Young's modulus of some common metals at different temperatures can be found in the diagram and table below.
