About this Dataset
Young's Modulus Of Metals
Dataset Overview
This dataset provides the Young's Modulus values (in GPa) for 50 metals, covering a wide range of categories such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and rare earth elements. Young's Modulus is a fundamental mechanical property that measures a material's stiffness under tensile or compressive stress. It is critical for applications in materials science, physics, and engineering.
The dataset includes:
- 50 metals with their chemical symbols and Young's Modulus values.
- A wide range of stiffness values, from soft metals like cesium (1.7 GPa) to very stiff metals like ruthenium (447 GPa).
- Clean and complete data with no missing or duplicate entries.
Data Science Applications
This dataset can be utilized in various data science and engineering applications, such as:
- Material Property Prediction: Train machine learning models to predict mechanical properties based on elemental features.
- Cluster Analysis: Group metals based on their mechanical properties or periodic trends.
- Correlation Studies: Explore relationships between Young's Modulus and other physical/chemical properties (e.g., density, atomic radius).
- Engineering Simulations: Use the data for simulations in structural analysis or material selection for design purposes.
- Visualization and Education: Create visualizations to teach periodic trends and material property variations.

Ethically Mined Data
The dataset was ethically sourced from publicly available scientific references and academic resources. The data was verified for accuracy using multiple authoritative sources, ensuring reliability for research and educational purposes. No proprietary or sensitive information was included.
Key checks performed:
- No missing values: The dataset contains complete entries for all 50 metals.
- No duplicates: Each metal appears only once in the dataset.
- Statistical analysis: The mean Young's Modulus is ~98.93 GPa, with a wide range from 1.7 GPa to 447 GPa.
