aluminium doesnt have a definite yielding point like steel, in the force vs extension graph. Thus by convention engineers have sat down together and agreed to make 0.2% the offset. draw a line parallel to the linear proportionality obeying hookes law, make the extension intercept at 0.002 (0.2%) then see where this intersects with the graph, this will give you the yield strength of the material. materials like steel and ceramics don't require a proof stress however materials such as polymers, composites and non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper) do.

Is aluminium rust proof?

Rusting is an oxidative process. Aluminum can be oxidized. However, a thin layer of aluminum oxide typically forms on the surface of the metal when exposed to air, which protects the underlying metal from oxidizing.


Is the Empire State Building earthquake proof?

While the Empire State Building was not specifically designed to be earthquake proof, it is considered to be structurally resilient due to its steel frame construction. The building has also undergone renovations and retrofitting to improve its ability to withstand seismic activity.


Is palladium metal bullet proof?

No, palladium metal is not bulletproof. While it is a dense and durable metal, it does not possess the necessary properties to withstand the high impact and penetration of bullets. Bulletproof materials, such as Kevlar or certain alloys used in armor, are specifically designed to absorb and disperse the energy from projectiles, which palladium does not effectively do.


How is nickel used to make burglar proof vaults?

Nickel is used in the manufacturing of burglar-proof vaults for its durability and resistance to corrosion. It is often added to steel to create a strong and tough alloy that can withstand forceful break-in attempts. The inclusion of nickel in vaults increases their strength and security features, making them more difficult to penetrate.

Is yield strength and proof stress same?

Yes it is the same. Offset Yield strength = 0.2% Proof Stress


What is the difference between yield stress and proof stress?

yield stress is the maximum resistance to deformation per unit area and proof stress is the allowable resistance to deformation per unit area.


What is proof Stress for Steel?

proof stress can be found by referring to the stress/strain curve at the point where strain is = 0.2% original volume (the material has grown 0.2% in volume) proof stress will be given as a measurement of energy (MPa,KPa etc.) as it specifically refers to the amount of energy required to stress the material to 0.2% its original volume.


When use proof stress?

When the stress-strain curve of a material fails to produce a clear yield strength.


Why was alloys of aluminium are used to make aircraft bodies instead of pure aluminium?

Pure aluminum isn't used for ANYTHING--even a cola can is made from aluminum alloy. Aerostructures are made from various aluminum alloys chosen for their strength, workability or other desirable characteristics.
