Notes

  • Properties that could not be confirmed are shown as a dash.
  • Young's modulus and modulus of rigidity are shown in GPa; tensile strength and yield strength in N/mm2. One N/mm2 equals one MPa, and 1 GPa = 1000 N/mm2.
  • Tensile strength and yield strength have no specified value for materials whose properties depend on heat treatment or tempering. See the note on each row for the assumptions used.
  • Properties of liquids such as water and antifreeze are not covered here. They are available from the material picker on the calculator input fields (density and specific heat capacity).
