Fused Silica Material Properties - Translume
Fused Silica elasticity modulus is 73 GPa at 25ºC. By comparison, steel has a Young's Modulus of the order of 205 GPa. Effect of Surface Flaws on Mechanical Properties. Fused Silica is extremely strong in compression, with a design compressive strength greater than 1.1 x 10 9 Pa. Under tension, the story is more complicated.
