This appendix represents a compilation of important properties for approxi-

mately 100 common engineering materials. Each table contains data values of one

particular property for this chosen set of materials; also included is a tabulation of

the compositions of the various metal alloys that are considered (Table B.10). Data

are tabulated by material type (viz., metals and metal alloys; graphite, ceramics, and

semiconducting materials; polymers; fiber materials; and composites). Within each

classification, the materials are listed alphabetically.

A couple of comments are appropriate relative to the content of these tables.

First, data entries are expressed either as ranges of values or as single values that

are typically measured. Also, on occasion, “(min)” is associated with an entry; this

means that the value cited is a minimum one.
