Search Results for tensile properties

This article summarizes how the tensile properties of several key metal alloy systems commonly used in additive manufacturing (AM) compare against their traditionally manufactured counterparts, which process parameters can be manipulated to enable more optimized performance, the role that process-induced artifacts play in influencing tensile behavior, and how postprocessing can be employed to overcome any anomalies induced during manufacture. Popular specific grades include type 316L and 17-4PH stainless steels, AlSi10Mg, Scalmalloy, Inconel 625 and 718, H13 tool steel, Ti-6Al-4V, and cobalt-chromium.

A computational tool would require the contribution of the strengthening mechanisms of metallic material to be predicted and then summed in an appropriate way to derive an estimate of the tensile properties. This article focuses on the modeling of deformation mechanisms pertinent to structural materials, namely, solid-solution strengthening, age/precipitation hardening, dispersion strengthening, grain size reduction, strengthening from cold work, and strengthening from interfaces. It explains the application of predictive models in the atomistic modeling of dislocation structures and cast aluminum property prediction. The article concludes with information on the use of rules-based approaches and data-mining techniques for quantitative predictions of tensile properties.

This article is a comprehensive collection of tables that list the values for hardness of plastics, rubber, elastomers, and metals. The tables also list the tensile yield strength and tensile modulus of metals and plastics at room temperature. A comparison of various engineering materials, on the basis of tensile strength, is also provided.
