AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between e-modulus and melting temperature, with participants suggesting a direct correlation for most materials. Users are encouraged to explore materials on MatWeb, such as oxygen-free copper and 304 stainless steel, to verify this relationship. There is an interest in determining the deformability of calcium versus iron at room temperature. While a direct relationship is generally expected, exceptions may exist for specific materials. Overall, the consensus leans towards a direct correlation between e-modulus and melting temperature in most cases.

what is the relationship between e-modulus and melting temp?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
What do you think ? Do you expect a direct or inverse correlation ? Have you tried searching to see if there is a correlation ?

Try this site : www.matweb.com and use the search option, with different materials. eg : oxygen free copper, 304 stainless steel, alumina, red brass, lead.
 
I think I got it--they have a direct relationship. Now I need to find out if Ca or Fe is more deformable at room temp...

...in general. There will be a few exceptions, but not for the pair you need.

In the matweb seach box type in "Calcium, Ca" and "Standard gray iron" to get their elastic modulii.
