Abstract
Mild Steel | Alloy Steels | Aluminium Alloys | |
---|---|---|---|
Cost for given load | 100 | 100–130 | 300–500 |
Cost for given rigidity | 100 | 120–150 | 400–700 |
Weight for given strength | 100 | 65–80 | 16–30 |
Weight for given rigidity | 100 | 100 | 30–60 |
This table is not a comparison of the behaviour of the materials as such; it is the relative performances of frameworks designed to exploit best each material for the same applied load on the frame.
