Questions Mechanical Is Aluminum 7050-T7451 stronger than Aluminum A380? Aluminum 7050-T7451 is stronger: its yield strength is 469 MPa against 160 MPa for Aluminum A380 (2.93x).
Which is lighter, Aluminum 7050-T7451 or Aluminum A380? Aluminum A380 is lighter: 2,713 kg/m³ against 2,830 kg/m³ for Aluminum 7050-T7451.
Which is stiffer, Aluminum 7050-T7451 or Aluminum A380? Aluminum A380 is stiffer: Young's modulus 71 GPa against 70.3 GPa for Aluminum 7050-T7451, so the same part in Aluminum A380 deflects less under the same load.
Which is lighter for the same job, Aluminum 7050-T7451 or Aluminum A380? For the same stiffness or strength: Aluminum 7050-T7451 is lighter for a strong rod or tie, strong beam, strong panel or plate; Aluminum A380 is lighter for a stiff rod or tie (tension), stiff beam (bending), stiff panel or plate.
Part that must be Aluminum 7050-T7451 Aluminum A380 Stiff rod or tie (tension) 5% heavier lighter Stiff beam (bending) 5% heavier lighter Stiff panel or plate 5% heavier lighter Strong rod or tie lighter 2.81x heavier Strong beam lighter 1.96x heavier Strong panel or plate lighter 1.64x heavier
For the same stiffness or strength, mass scales with density over stiffness (or strength) raised to a power set by how the part is loaded: 1 for a rod in tension, 1/2 for a beam in bending, 1/3 for a panel (the standard material-selection indices).
Which is more ductile, Aluminum 7050-T7451 or Aluminum A380? Aluminum 7050-T7451 stretches further before it breaks: 11% elongation at break against 3.5% for Aluminum A380.
Thermal Which conducts heat better, Aluminum 7050-T7451 or Aluminum A380? Aluminum 7050-T7451 conducts heat better: 157 W/m·K against 96.2 W/m·K for Aluminum A380.
Which expands less with temperature? Aluminum A380 expands less: 21.8 µm/m·K against 23.5 µm/m·K for Aluminum 7050-T7451.
