The hardness and thermal properties of the nonlinear optical crystal YCOB were systematically measured. The results show that the hardness along the (100), (010) and (001) directions has low anisotropy, which is beneficial for the cutting process. The specific heat of YCOB crystal is 0.74 Jg-1K-1 at 330 K, and the thermal conductivities along the principal axes are 1.74, 2.16 and 3.08 Wm-1K-1, indicating a moderate thermal conductivity.
