TABLE OF CONTENTS For selected engineering materials. Many other alloys are available.
The following tables contain approximate values for strengths and other specifications of a variety of engineering materials compiled from various sources. In some cases the data are minimum recommended values. In other cases, they are data from a single test specimen. These data are suitable for use in the engineering exercises contained in this text, but should not be considered as statistically valid representations of specifications for any particular alloy or material. The designer should consult the materials' manufacturers for more accurate and up-to-date strength information on materials used in engineering applications or conduct independent tests of the selected materials to determine their ultimate suitability to any application.
