    Help with srain on steels please

    Well the formula for elasticity (a.k.a Young's Modulus) is E = stress / strain. You already know E and you've calculated stress, so plug the numbers into the equation and find your strain. If you want to go further, you can calculate the extension of the steel rod by using the formula for...

    What Causes Variation in Ductility of Pure Metals?

    What makes some pure metals more ductile than other pure metals? I know ductility is defined as the ability of a material to be drawn into a wire, and one measurement of it is the percentage elongation from a tensile stress test. But does anyone know what is going on at an atomic level when the...
