Metal
Strengths
The
strength of metals is most often compared by their tensile strengths.
These numbers are Newtons per square millimetre and represent the relative strength of each metal compared to another. The range of numbers indicates the variations caused by various alloys.
Tin 19
Lead 14
– 32
Solder 60/40 48
Zinc 120 – 246
Zinc 120 – 246
