High strength, low Young's modulus 3

[hpon]

Hi,

I am looking for fairly strong materials with particularly high yield stress to Young's modulus ratio. Do you have any suggestions?

try google

We don't do searches, we expect to help with problems but your post suggests you've done nothing for yourself.

Titanium Beta C alloy.

I was thinking rubber.

Thanks for the replies!

Titanium Beta C seems a bit fragile for my particular application, -it does not wear well. I'm currently considering ADI treated cast iron, which has a high yield stress and low E-modulus. Other ideas?

For low mod stay with Al, Ti, or Cu based alloys. Any Fe based alloy will be >28kksi.
How about BeCu?
