Young’s Modulus of Pure Metals
The Young’s modulus of a pure metal depends on a number of factors, including its atomic structure, crystal mass, and temperature. In general, metals with a higher atomic mass and a more closely packed crystal structure will have a higher Young's modulus.
The following table provides a comprehensive list of Young’s modulus values for various pure metal taken at room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F).
