Alumina’s modulus of elasticity is a measure of its stiffness, representing the amount of force required to deform the material. The modulus is typically expressed in gigapascals (GPa) and is higher for materials with greater rigidity. Alumina, a type of ceramic material, generally exhibits a high modulus of elasticity due to its strong ionic bonds. This property makes alumina suitable for applications where structural stability and resistance to deformation are crucial, such as in the ceramics industry and refractory applications.
