Aluminum
electrical resistivity
Metals; Aluminum
The electrical resistance of a body of unit length and unit cross-sectional area or unit weight. The value of 1/58 ohm-mm2/meter at 68 º F is the resistivity equivalent to the International Annealed ...
electrochemical
Metals; Aluminum
Pertaining to chemical reactions induced by an electric current such as electrolysis or electroplating.
elastic limit
Metals; Aluminum
The maximum stress that a body can withstand without permanent deformation.
electrical conductivity
Metals; Aluminum
The capacity of a material to conduct electric current. For aluminum, this capacity is expressed as a percentage of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS), which has a resistivity of 1/58 ...
elasticity
Metals; Aluminum
The ability of a material or body to return to its original shape and dimensions after being deformed by stress.
