Materials data

A page to find, compare and export materials property values with their sources and conditions. The values are collected from the checked data sets used by the calculators on this site, and every value tells you which source it comes from and which calculator uses it. Search by name (English, Japanese, other names or symbols), filter by class and property, switch units and sort the table.

Values for the same material change with grade, heat treatment, temperature and direction. Check the condition (marked cells) and the source before using a value. For designing parts, use the guaranteed values of standards or the manufacturer’s data.

Property table

Superscript numbers are source numbers (see the source list below); small text gives the grade, state, kind of strength and condition. “+n” is the number of other values for the same property: click the material name to see all of them on its card. Ranges show “low–high” and the representative value. Click a column heading to sort.

With JavaScript you can search, filter, sort and switch units in this table.

Representative values and ranges

There are two kinds of values: a single value for a grade or a standard (for example, Young’s modulus of Kyocera AO479O, 360 GPa) and a range for a class of materials (for example, 340–390 GPa for Ashby’s “alumina”). A range covers many grades with different compositions and processing; it does not mean every grade lies inside it.

The representative value of a range is the geometric mean of its ends, √(low × high), to 3 significant figures. It is the center of the ellipse in the materials selection chart, and for properties spanning an order of magnitude or more (foam strength, polymer thermal conductivity) it describes the position in the range better than the arithmetic mean.

When a material has several values for one property, the table shows the first (the grade’s value if there is one, otherwise the range) and marks the number of other values as “+n”. The card shows every value with its condition and source.

Values change with temperature, microstructure and direction

The thermal expansion coefficient depends on the temperature range. For 304 stainless steel the mean over 0–100 °C is 16.9 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ and over 0–649 °C it is 18.7 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹. Thermal conductivity, Young’s modulus and strength also change with temperature; the modulus of most metals falls as the temperature rises. Compare values at the same temperature.

Strength depends more on microstructure (heat treatment, working) than on composition. Yield, tensile and flexural strength are different quantities, and the flexural strength of ceramics comes out higher than the tensile strength. The table always states which strength it shows. Polymers also change with moisture: PA6 has a modulus of 3.5 GPa dry and 1.2 GPa conditioned.

Single crystals, fibers and unidirectional plies differ with direction. Young’s modulus of silicon is 130–188 GPa depending on the crystal direction, and T300 carbon fiber expands negatively along its axis and positively across it. Values for polycrystals are averages over directions.

Specified, typical and measured values

Standards give guaranteed minimums (the yield strength of 355 MPa for S355 in EN 10025-2 is the minimum guaranteed for thickness up to 16 mm) and specified ranges of composition (Cr 18.00–20.00 % in JIS, for example). A manufacturer’s “typical” value is an average of measurements, not a guarantee.

Values for the same material name often differ slightly between sources because of the sample, test method and temperature, not because one of them is wrong. Where the calculators use different values, this page shows both with their conditions and sources rather than correcting either.

When you cite a value

Cite the source of the value (listed on the card and in the source list), not this page. It is safest to open the source and check the condition (temperature, state, direction, test method) before using a value.

Write the unit and condition together with the value. Converted values are shown with the significant figures of the original value. The CSV gives both the value in the displayed unit and the value in its original unit.

How this data was made

The values are extracted by script from the data sets used by the calculators on this site (periodic table, thermal expansion and stress, materials selection chart, composite designer, diffusion simulator, XRD workbench, binary phase diagrams, calculation drill and material designations). No calculator value is copied by hand, and every extracted value is checked against the calculator.

The only values not in the calculators are the properties of 304 and 316 stainless steel from Cleveland-Cliffs product data (US 304/304L and 316/316L bulletins). They are copied from the tables of those bulletins and checked against them again; values whose US-unit and SI figures disagree within the bulletin are left out (where only the stated temperature disagrees, the °F temperature is used). Values that the composite designer assumes (with no source) and values calculated by assuming isotropy are left out.

“Open in calculator” on a material card opens the calculator with that material’s values filled in, in the same state as picking the material in the calculator.

FAQ

A handbook gives a slightly different value. Which one is right?

Usually both: the sample, test method or temperature differs. Every value here comes with its source and condition, so check first whether the conditions match. If they match and the values still differ a lot, please check the source and let us know.

Why is the representative value of a range not the midpoint?

For properties spanning several times or more, the geometric mean, which is the midpoint on a logarithmic scale, describes the position in the range better. It is the same as the center of the ellipse in the materials selection chart. For example, the arithmetic mean of 0.01–1 is 0.505, while the geometric mean is 0.1.

Can I design a part with these values?

They are fine for narrowing down and comparing materials, but not for design. For design, use guaranteed values from standards or data for the actual grade from its manufacturer (minimums and values at temperature).

Should I look at yield strength or tensile strength?

Use the yield strength (0.2 % proof stress) for parts that must not deform plastically, and the tensile strength to compare strength to fracture. Ceramics and glasses do not yield, so look at the flexural or tensile strength. The table always states which strength it shows.

Why are some properties blank?

Only values confirmed in a source are included. Values that are not in the calculators’ data or not given in the sources are not filled in by estimation.

How many digits does the CSV give?

Values converted to the displayed unit are rounded to the significant figures of the original value. Each row also gives the value in its original unit and its source, so you can check the original.
