The materials used in the home workshop tend to be less varied. However, that is not always the case. The Library of properties here has been compiled for some approximate calculations.
If you need specific data that is what the web is for...
Material Properties
- Density:
kg/m³
- Young's Modulus:
GPa
- Poisson's Ratio:
-
- Yield Strength:
MPa
- Ultimate Tensile Strength:
MPa
- Thermal Conductivity:
W/m.K
- Specific Heat Capacity:
J/kg.K
- Coefficient of Thermal Expansion:
µm/m/K
- Material Speed HSS:
m/min
- Material Speed Carbide:
m/min
- Material Feed Carbide:
mm/rev
- Heat Treatment Upper/Hard:
°C
- Heat Treatment Lower/Soft:
°C
The material Properties shown here are from multiple sources. The speeds and feeds data is from Machinery's Handbook 25th Ed and the thermal heattreatment data is from various places on the web.
I have not included Fatigue strength here but for Al.Alloys that is between 124MPa and 150MPa, and for Titaniums it depends on the grade but assume around 289MPa for 10e-6 cycles.
