Questions Is Brass C260 stronger than Plywood? Brass C260 is stronger: its yield strength is 345 MPa against tensile strength 41.4 MPa for Plywood (8.34x).
Which is stiffer, Brass C260 or Plywood? Brass C260 is stiffer: Young's modulus 110 GPa against 7.45 GPa for Plywood, so the same part in Brass C260 deflects less under the same load.
Which conducts heat better, Brass C260 or Plywood? Brass C260 conducts heat better: 121 W/m·K against 0.12 W/m·K for Plywood.
Which expands less with temperature? Plywood expands less: 3.8 µm/m·K against 20 µm/m·K for Brass C260.
