Questions Mechanical Is Copper C10100 stronger than Plastic PPS GF40? Plastic PPS GF40 is stronger: its tensile strength is 195 MPa against yield strength 69 MPa for Copper C10100 (2.83x).
Which is lighter, Copper C10100 or Plastic PPS GF40? Plastic PPS GF40 is lighter: 1,650 kg/m³ against 8,941 kg/m³ for Copper C10100.
Which is stiffer, Copper C10100 or Plastic PPS GF40? Copper C10100 is stiffer: Young's modulus 117 GPa against 14.7 GPa for Plastic PPS GF40, so the same part in Copper C10100 deflects less under the same load.
Which is lighter for the same job, Copper C10100 or Plastic PPS GF40? For the same stiffness or strength: Copper C10100 is lighter for a stiff rod or tie (tension); Plastic PPS GF40 is lighter for a stiff beam (bending), stiff panel or plate, strong rod or tie, strong beam, strong panel or plate.
Part that must be Copper C10100 Plastic PPS GF40 Stiff rod or tie (tension) lighter 47% heavier Stiff beam (bending) 1.92x heavier lighter Stiff panel or plate 2.71x heavier lighter Strong rod or tie 15.3x heavier lighter Strong beam 10.8x heavier lighter Strong panel or plate 9.11x heavier lighter
For the same stiffness or strength, mass scales with density over stiffness (or strength) raised to a power set by how the part is loaded: 1 for a rod in tension, 1/2 for a beam in bending, 1/3 for a panel (the standard material-selection indices).
Which is more ductile, Copper C10100 or Plastic PPS GF40? Copper C10100 stretches further before it breaks: 45% elongation at break against 1.9% for Plastic PPS GF40.
Thermal Which conducts heat better, Copper C10100 or Plastic PPS GF40? Copper C10100 conducts heat better: 391 W/m·K against 0.2 W/m·K for Plastic PPS GF40.
Which expands less with temperature? Plastic PPS GF40 expands less: 12 µm/m·K against 16.9 µm/m·K for Copper C10100.
