1350 Aluminum Yield Strength
Aluminum 1350 has a yield strength of approximately 20 MPa. Like the tensile strength, the yield strength is quite low due to the soft and ductile nature of the alloy.
Density of 1350 Aluminum
The density of aluminum 1350 is around 2.70 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). This value is close to the density of pure aluminum, as 1350 is a commercially pure alloy with minimal alloying elements.
Modulus of Elasticity 1350 Aluminum
The modulus of elasticity, or Young's modulus, for aluminum 1350 is approximately 68 GPa. This represents its stiffness and ability to return to its original shape after deformation.
Thermal Conductivity of 1350 Aluminum
Aluminum 1350 has excellent thermal conductivity. The exact value can vary, but it is generally within the range of 200 to 235 W/(m·K). This high thermal conductivity is one of the reasons why it is widely used in electrical conductors, where it can efficiently dissipate heat generated during the transmission of electrical current.
Keep in mind that the mechanical properties of 1350 aluminum, such as tensile and yield strength, are relatively low when compared to many other aluminum alloys. However, it excels in electrical conductivity, which is its primary advantage and the reason it's used in applications where electrical performance is crucial.
