Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but what the tensile strength of Nickel-iron, or where would I be able to find it?
Is one referring to Invar? http://www.nickel-alloys.net/invar_nickel_iron_alloy.htmlTris Fray Potter said:what the tensile strength of Nickel-iron, or where would I be able to find it?
Tensile strength is the maximum amount of stress that a material can withstand before breaking or fracturing. It is a measure of a material's ability to resist pulling forces.
Tensile strength is typically measured by subjecting a sample of the material to a controlled pulling force until it breaks. The maximum force applied to the sample before it breaks is recorded as the tensile strength.
The tensile strength of nickel-iron can vary depending on the specific alloy and manufacturing process. Generally, it ranges from 50,000 to 150,000 pounds per square inch (psi). However, some special alloys can have tensile strengths up to 300,000 psi.
The addition of iron to nickel can increase its tensile strength. This is because iron has a smaller atomic radius than nickel, which creates a stronger bond between the atoms and makes the material more resistant to pulling forces.
The tensile strength of nickel-iron can be affected by various factors such as the composition and purity of the alloy, the manufacturing process, and any heat treatments or surface treatments applied to the material. Additionally, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to corrosive substances can also impact the tensile strength of nickel-iron.
