Best Answer

copper has no linear portion to their stress-strain

curve, so the offset method cannot be used. The European Standard for general-purpose copper rod, EN 12163 (Ref 8), gives approximate 0.2% proof strength.

It would really depend on the form the copper is in. As an example if it was rolled copper the tensile strength would be around 32,000 psi.

The formula is force/cross sectional area.

Can metals be strenched out into a thin wire?

Yes, which is why we get wire of various gauges and tensile strength. The copper wire used in electricity is one example.


What is the tensile strength of copper wire?

to calulate the tensile strength of a copper wire is that get mass/weights, a clamp stand, a g clamp, a copper wire and a boss head. Tie a loop from a wire and hang it on the edge of the clamp stand, put the g clamp on the clamp stando it dosent fall of, anyway after you tie a loop at each ends of the copper wire hook the edge of the weights at the bottom of the loop keep putting on weights until it snaps and make sure you have googles on.

What are the disadvantages of having iron armor?

The hardness and tensile strength provided by iron armor in comparison to its weight. The same hardness and/or tensile strenght can be matched or beaten by lighter alloys.


Matter being drawn out into wire?

Copper can be drawn into wire because its elastic strength is lower than its tensile strength. If it were the other way around the copper would be brittle and break from being drawn. To draw wire from copper it is usually annealed first (heated to reduce its elasticity) then drawn into rods through a thimble, then progressively drawn though smaller and smaller dies to reduce its diameter to the preferred gauge or size. As the copper is drawn through the dies it heats up from friction and actually needs to be cooled to prevent it from breaking, as this annealing actually reduces the tensile strength of the copper as well. *elastic strength is the strength of material that resists permanent deformation of the material. Tensile strength is the resistance to the material being pulled apart.
