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.
SLA Resin Standard is 3D printed: its properties depend on build direction and print settings; these are typical values.
Questions Is Magnesium AZ91D stronger than SLA Resin Standard? Magnesium AZ91D is stronger: its yield strength is 150 MPa against tensile strength 60 MPa for SLA Resin Standard (2.5x).
Which is stiffer, Magnesium AZ91D or SLA Resin Standard? Magnesium AZ91D is stiffer: Young's modulus 45 GPa against 2.75 GPa for SLA Resin Standard, so the same part in Magnesium AZ91D deflects less under the same load.
