This document is prepared to present the results and observations from a tensile test conducted on aluminum samples. Specifically, it aims to determine two fundamental mechanical properties: the Young’s modulus (E) and the ultimate tensile strength of aluminum.
The objective of this document is to provide information on the strength and stiffness of aluminum 2050 T84 with tensile test.
We will test 3 identical samples to determine the average Young's modulus (E) and the ultimate tensile strenght.
We will use the 100 KN Zwick Roll machine.
Do the traction machine formation to have acces to the traction machine.
| Sample | Young's modulus E [GPA] | Ultimate Tensile Strength [MPA] | Yield Strength [MPA] |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 63,28 | 526,7 | 192,3 |
| 2 | 63,90 | 492,3 | 193,1 |
| 3 | 66,09 | 494,2 | 199,8 |
We find an average E = 64,42 GPA with a standard deviation of 1,47, and average UTS = 501,0 MPA with a standard deviation of 13,57 and an average Elasticity Limit Y = 195 MPa with a standart diviation of 4,11.
