KEY to METALS Extended Range

KEY to METALS Extended Range: Stress-strain curves, fatigue data, fracture mechanics, creep, and more

 

The Problem

  • Where can I find material data essential for advanced engineering calculations: stress-strain curves, fatigue properties, fracture mechanics and parameters at high temperatures?
  • How can I obtain stress-strain curves on various temperatures and on a specific working temperature of interest?
  • How can I compare fatigue properties of American, European and Asian materials?
  • Is it possible to get the information directly for Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software?

The Solution: Key to Metals Extended Range

KEY to METALS Extended Range dataset in synergy with the standard KEY to METALS data provides you with an unparalleled material properties resource for advanced structural and thermal calculations and analysis.

  • Stress-strain curves: Unique collection of stress-strain curves for calculations in the plastic range of thousands of materials, heat treatments and working temperatures. Both true and engineering stress curves are given for various strain rates where applicable.
  • Fatigue: The largest database of strain life and stress life parameters for various heat treatments and loading conditions. Monotonic properties are included for reference along with statistical parameters and estimates where applicable.
  • Fracture mechanics: K1C, KC, crack growth and Paris law parameters are presented, with the corresponding graph of crack growth. Monotonic properties are included in conjunction with estimates of missing parameters based on monotonic properties when applicable.
  • Creep data: Yield stress and creep rupture strength at different temperatures are displayed along with the calculation of Larsen-Miller parameter and remaining life of the component.
