Questions Is Drywall stronger than Solder SAC305? Solder SAC305 is stronger: its yield strength is 22 MPa against tensile strength 1.5 MPa for Drywall (14.7x).
Which is stiffer, Drywall or Solder SAC305? Solder SAC305 is stiffer: Young's modulus 6.9 GPa against 1.5 GPa for Drywall, so the same part in Solder SAC305 deflects less under the same load.
Which expands less with temperature? Drywall expands less: 16.7 µm/m·K against 21.9 µm/m·K for Solder SAC305.
