Every value links to the document that states it. "Not sourced" means no citable source states it (or only a specification minimum); figures computed from it are left out too.
Questions Is Brass C360 stronger than Drywall? Brass C360 is stronger: its yield strength is 310 MPa against tensile strength 1.5 MPa for Drywall (207x).
Which is stiffer, Brass C360 or Drywall? Brass C360 is stiffer: Young's modulus 96.5 GPa against 1.5 GPa for Drywall, so the same part in Brass C360 deflects less under the same load.
Which expands less with temperature? Drywall expands less: 16.7 µm/m·K against 20.5 µm/m·K for Brass C360.
