The ASME Handbook of Metals Properties is one of the many services of the Society. It
came into being as a result of a survey in 1941 by the Metals Engineering Division which revealed
the need of the mechanical engineer and designer for a ready reference to the properties and char-
acteristics of metals A preliminary stud}' was instituted, and as a result, in August, 1945, the
Executive Committee of the Council authorized the publication of a Metals Engineering Hand-
book and appointed a Handbook Board. This Board was set up as a continuing body, the mem-
bers to be selected upon the recommendation of the Metals Engineering Division with the
approval of the standing Committee on Professional Divisions and the concurrence of the Pub-
lications Committee. The personnel of the Board has changed from time to time.
The Society is grateful to the members of the Board and to the many others who have made
valuable contributions to the text of the Handbook.
The Society is particularly happy to recognize the active cooperation of the American
Society for Metals, which has permanent representation on the Board through a nominee of its
own choice.

This Handbook has been prepared to fill the urgent need for a reference manual related to
the design engineer's point of view. A wealth of information of direct interest to him has been
compiled from many authentic sources and is presented in a form which, it is hoped, will prove
most useful to the experienced engineer and the embryo designer alike
This volume tabulates the properties of metals about which a design engineer needs informa-
tion. A volume has already been published dealing primarily with the design function in metals
engineering. Another volume, in preparation, deals with the processes by which metals are con-
verted to finished product. A
fourth volume, also in preparation, collects in one place many
engineering tables to supplement the designer's knowledge of standards for shape, dimension,
gears, and the like.
The Advisory Committee, consisting of Messrs. II. B. Lewis, O J. Horger, C. L. Tutt, Jr.,
and J. F Young,
has reviewed under the Board's direction matters relating to content, quality,
format, arid courses of action on the Handbook, and has reported findings and recommenda-
tions to the Board The work of this committee will continue as it will have the responsibility
of recommending to the Board necessary revisions to keep this Handbook abreast of the ever-
changing need for current design data.
Contributions have been made by members of The American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neers and other societies. Industrial organizations have been most generous in furnishing data
and in permitting the use of material already in print. In each case, proper recognition is given
to these sources.

PREFACE
PURPOSE. This Handbook is the direct outgrowth of a survey conducted in 1941 by the
Metals Engineering Division. Disclosure that a need for it existed was somewhat startling
because of the many reference books already available, and the excellent coverage of some of
them. The survey explained, however, that other references were not written for the design
engineer nor exclusively from his viewpoint, and that the existing handbooks did not contain
the scope of metals engineering information needed by the design engineer. In practice he
looked through many references to find related information on a single material, if, indeed, that
information were available at all. This Handbook has been written to satisfy that need, to
compile in one place engineering data on metallurgical, physical, fabrication, and mechanical
properties of typical metals.
SCOPE. A word of caution, however, is in order at the outset. The design engineer is
accustomed to using specification values of the properties with which he is concerned, since it is
on such values that the engineer purchases material and supplies a product, usually under con-
tract For these, he should refer to the applicable specification, and not to this volume. There
are several reasons for this. First, specifications are continually being revised and the engineer
would want to use the one that is currently in effect Second, this volume is not intended to
be a collection of specifications and was not so designed. Third, while specification values are
limiting values, or maximum or minimumvalues for acceptance, the values included are either
actual test values for a single specimen or average values obtained in production practice.
Specifications by no means give all the data on a material that the engineer needs. It has
therefore been the aim of the present volume to furnish comprehensive data with comments
necessary to characterize the material and typify its uses for the guidance of the designer.
The data presented are organized according to the following plan :
1. Metals of like kind are grouped together. An ascending numerical sequence of desig-
nation isfollowed, with occasional exceptions necessitated by publication limitations.
2. All data for each metal are reproduced under the designation for that metal.
3. Metals have been identified, in most instances, by the designation commonly used by
the fabricating industries. A cross index is provided for further identification by other systems.
4. A skeleton format has been employed to obtain continuity in presentation.
5. Properties reported cover sizes, forms, and conditions (cold work, heat-treatments, etc.)
inwhich the metal is usually used. This has resulted in omissions from the skeleton format
where specific data were not of importance to the typical applications for the metal.
6. The English system of units has been employed except where metric units are conven-
tional, or where conversion would bias interpretation of data from the published source.
This plan was adopted with the hope that it would (1) facilitate reference, (2) aid the user
to write in new information of special interest as it becomes available, and (3) provide research
groups and suppliers some indication of omissions in available data.

viii PREFACE
CHOICE OF DATA. The constant change in the field of engineering materials can result in
the inclusion of some items that will become less significant. Recent and future developments
will be covered in revisions of this volume.
The large number of metallic engineering materials has created a selection problem that
was met with arbitrary decisions. An outstanding example is that of the steels. While a large
number are represented in this volume, they constitute only a minor fraction of the steels pro-
duced or even of those covered by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The same is true in
the selection of typical nonferrous alloys. The necessary data for a material which is not
included can often be approximated by interpolating between two close materials.
PROPERTY VALUES. The ideal way to present the values of the properties would be by
scatter bands, by distribution curves, or by indicating the standard statistical deviation for an
average value. It cannot be correctly said that the tensile strength of a certain steel at a cer-
tain size, heat-treated in a certain way, always has a singular value. Variations in compo-
sition, structure, and manufacturing practice produce corresponding variations in the properties
obtained with a given material made, let us say, to meet a commercial specification. A figure
might be given for the most probable value and the expected variation above and below that
value. facts, a reasonable minimum value could be approximated below which the
With these
property may seldom be expected to fall. The latter is the procedure of specification-writing
bodies after they have sufficient evidence on which to base a finding. Unhappily the ideal is
seldom achieved, though there is a trend in that direction.
The data presented in this Handbook come in one or the other of two categories. They
are either average values representative of good practice or actual test values on single indi-
"
vidual specimens. A typical case of reporting average values is that of the physical property
charts'' of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) steels. They give what is expected,
on the average, for the middle of the range of composition. They offer a good compromise,
since a producer will not care to cite minimum
values that would stamp his steels as of inferior
quality; and he will not care to cite the very best values, for, in that case, the user would experi-
ence too many cases of failing to get the published values. With this as a guide, the engineer
should be able to determine the properties he can rely upon and the metallurgist should be able
to decide on compositions and treatments to produce those properties.
UTILIZATION OF DATA. Where average expected values are not available, actual values
are given, along with specific compositions and treatments. If another heat of metal of exactly
the same composition were made, treated, and tested in the same way, the properties would be
the same, within the experimental error of determination. In practice, conditions cannot be
precisely reproduced, and successive lots of metal will vary by somewhat more than the error of
testing variations. The actual variation will represent the summation of the effects of all the
variables on the property. This indicates the significance to be attached to the properties of
the individual metal, at least of that metal as a representative of a type or class. This cannot
be expressed quantitatively unless the distribution curve for that type or class of metal is known.
That is seldom the case in published or tabulated data; therefore, reasonable latitude, based on
good experience and sound judgment, must be allowed in interpreting and using such data.
It should also be clear that such data on individual metals or alloys are not proper for use in
specifications.
The data selected for inclusion represent, in so far as I am able to judge, good data. Much
of them I have been able to check against more than one reliable source, or to select from sources
PREFACE ix
that are held to be reliable. Even so, therebe some inconsistencies, inherent in the subject
may
matter. A good example is the high-temperature properties and behavior of the heat-resistant
alloys. A few of these alloys have been quite well investigated, but others cannot yet be
described adequately. In instances where the data seemed to call for such a procedure, I have
not hesitated to include several sources.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. Data on the various physical properties of the pure metals are
relatively accurate in determination and simple to use. Reasonably high purity of the test
samples usually guaranteed; and
is most investigators know that the metal must be soft-annealed
to avoid vitiating the determinations by extraneous effects of cold work and its accompanying
structural characteristics. While physical measurements always involve an "error," or uncer-
tainty, the results are usually quite accurate with respect to purity, structure, and measure-
ment. Within the experimental error there is little likelihood that most of the data are far
wrong, and accordingly, there is little likelihood of making improper use of such data.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. Data on many mechanical properties of commercial metals
and alloys require somewhat different treatment and interpretation. These are the data sub-
ject to the significant variations as described previously. Data for the heat-treating steels call
for specialcomment. Until recently the carbon and alloy steels (SAE steels) have been treated
largely on an individual basis, and indeed, they do have individual characteristics. But it is
now clear that steels, almost regardless of composition and alloying elements, have surprisingly
"
uniform tensile properties at the same hardness level, provided they are fully hardened" when
quenched.
The magnitude of the effect of producing an incompletely hardened condition by quench-
ing is due principally to the "mass effect," and is shown by data on the mass effect of certain
steels thatappear in many of the tables of properties on wrought steels. This effect is also
brought out by the inclusion of end-quench hardenability test data. Such data show the rela-
tive depths to which various carbon and alloy steels harden and at about what depths the
incompletely hardened structures begin. They also show that little or no alloy is needed to
harden small sections to produce optimum properties, but as the section size increases, the need
for "hardening" elements increases to produce similar results. These generalizations were
developed at a recent date but have been found to be a guide for the selection of steel compo-
sitions and treatments. Now that this information is available, it should be applied when using
or interpreting data on the properties of heat-treated steels, at least for the ordinary tensile
properties.
For data covering properties other than the simple static and tensile properties, the situ-
ation changes for all types of metals and alloys. This group includes such properties as notch
toughness, notch fatigue, impact behavior or high-velocity loadings, fatigue, corrosion fatigue,
low-temperature properties, high-temperature properties, corrosion, magnetic properties, and
damping. These are controlled by composition, manufacturing variables, treatment, and struc-
ture. In so far as was possible, data have been included on these points but no correlations
have appeared here except a few generalizations. Notch-toughness and creep properties have
been studied elsewhere in some detail and a fair amount of information is available. Consider-
able discussion of the significance of these properties will be found in Parts I and II of the
companion volume, "Metals Engineering Design."

It is hoped that the data of this volume, or similar data in any book, will be used or applied
x PREFACE
with these qualifications clearly in mind. Until unequivocal metal data are available, the exer-
cise of understanding and judgment is vitalto the successful use of such data.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The compilation of the material for the Properties and Data
Section has been partly a task done at Battelle Memorial Institute and partly a labor of love.
The editor wishes to express his appreciation for the excellent support furnished him by his
company and for the assistance and encouragement given by the members of the Metals Engi-
neering Handbook Board. One of their functions was to secure informed criticism of the treat-
ment and coverage of many of the subdivisions. Those reviews were competent and thorough
and I feel that the value of the data has been substantially increased by this backstage work
Work on the manuscript was no sinecure for the office staff, and I want to thank them for the
care and attention they have given to the proper handling of the many processing details. My
special thanks are due to Mrs. Gene M. Weeks, for it was the happy way in which she com-
bined skill with persistence that the original manuscript was converted into the uniform and
readable pages of the final product. That was no simple task.
From past experience in compiling data in large numbers, it is practically certain that
errors willbe present, in spite of checking and rechecking So that steps can be taken to
correct them in future editions, it will be appreciated if errors are called to the attention oi

IRON GRAY, CAST
Class 20
MEDIUM SECTIONS
Characteristics: A soft grade of gray iron, commonly

melted in the cupola. It has very good fluidity and cast-
ability and is very easily machinable. It is particularly
valuable in medium and thin-sectioned castings, and gen-
erally
advisable where only moderate strength is required
and it is desirable to avoid high casting stresses even in
complicated sections.
Uses: Typical castings machine bases, ornamental
castings, grates, housings, frames, manhole covers,
andirons, traffic signs, etc.

ASM Metal Handbook

(7.871 S.G.) 1006 1008
Characteristics* This is usually

produced as
rimmed steel with a good surface finish but is
also made as a fully killed, "fine grained" steel
to eliminate or minimize the strain* aging be-
havior of the rimmed quality. It is a very soft,
mild steel of low strength and high ductility and
is easy to forge or to form and shape cold. It is
easy to weld or braze and hence is suitable
where ease of fabrication is desired and strength
is not important. It is hardened or strengthened
by cold working and can be restored to its initial
soft condition by annealing. It is not heat-
treat able in the usual sense (by quenching and
tempering) but it can be surface- hardened by
case hardening or cyaniding.
Typical Uses. For structures and assemblies
where strength is not needed or is only a minor
requirement but where the maximum ease of
forming and joining is important. For the; more
severe drawing operations, such as certain auto-
mobile body parts, the killed type must be
applied to avoid too great losses in fabrication.
Common Forms. Hot rolled bars, strip, sheet,
plate; cold drawn bars, cold rolled bars; wire;
cold headed parts; auto body stock cold finished
and annealed; pipe and tubing; tin plate, gal-
vanized sheets.
Aging of Mild Steel and Non-Aging Steel. Ordinary

mild steel of the open-hearth, rimmed type ages
at room temperature. For a full description of
this, see ASM Metals Handbook, pp. 000-000 and

Chorocteristlci. A popular carbuimng grade and can be strengthened by cold working or

surface hardened by car bun zing or cyamding. In the hot rolled or annealed condition it is
relatively soft and has good weldabihty and formabihty for fabrication. It can be readily
brazed for joining parts. It is less expensive than the softer and more ductile grades.
Typical Uses. It is normally used in the as-rolled condition as bars, shapes, sheets, etc.
where ease of forming and joining are important and the more expensive grades are not
needed, and where stiffness rather than strength is important.

Characteristics. Generally similar to CIO 15 except for a little greater strength from the
higher C and Mn.
Typical Uses. It is normally used in the as-rolled condition as bars, shapes, sheets, etc.
where ease of forming and joining are important and the more expensive grades are not
needed, and where stiffness rather than strength is important.
Common Commercial Forms. Hot rolled bars, billets, slabs, plate, sheet, strip, shapes,
wire, cold rolled bars, cold drawn bars.

Characteristics.
Anneal me 1600-1650 F formed cold. In the case-hardened condition it has higher core strength than C1015.
Normalizing 1650-1750 As with similar steels, soft spots in the case can be guarded against by specifying
Quenching 1600-1675 that the steel be "normal" in the McQuaid-Ehn Test; the type which gives an
Carbunztng 16^0-1700 "abnormal" structure will have soft, unhardened areas. Another aid is the use of a
Process anneal 1000-1350 NaOH or NaCl solution for quenching, while the steel C1022 may be used to take
advantage of its higher Mn content.
Typical Uses* Internal combustion engine parts in the case-hardened condition
where core strength is not critical, spline shafts of larger cross section which are
not highly stressed, lightly stressed gears with hard wearing surfaces, case-hardened
pins. Also used for chains, see below.
Common Commercial Forms* Hot rolled bars, billets, slabs, plate, sheet, strip,

Characteristic*. Steel 1045 is typical for flame hardening and can produce a sur-
face hardness of 500 BUN to a depth of 0*10 m. This to shafts
applies particularly
and gears. In general it is medium strong in the as-rolled or as- forged condition,
and can be heat-treated by a liquid quench (water or oil) or by flame or induction
hardening. It forges satisfactorily and is fair in brazing. It is used for parts re-
quiring medium strength, and for parts with a wearing surface.

Character! *tics* This steel has exceptionally high hardenabihty and is
well suited for heavy parts which must have high surface hardness com-
bined with high and uniform properties when heat treated.
Typicol Uses. Case-hardened gears and pinions, especially in medium
large sizes up to about 6 inch sections, and for heavy heat-treated parts,
and spline shafts.
Common Commercial Forms. Blooms and billets for forging or rolling, hot
rolled bars.
Similar Steels. The "Krupp" nickel-chromium steel is very similar but con-
tains more nickel, or 3.80-4.30, and us strength will come on the
high
side as compared to 3310, Steel 9310 is very similar to ^310 see p.

Comprossivo Strength
The permissable compressive stress for case-hardened gears, bearings
and races is 180M psi for intermittent loading. For constant mesh load-
ing this value should be reduced 20-25%. This assumes good practice,
adequate section thickness, and freedom from carbide network in the
case.

Flald Tests. Axle shafts made of 94T40 were

found in field tests to compare favorably with
the steels regularly specified, 2345 and 8645.
Experience in Fabrication. Steel 94T40 was found to forge satisfactorily and to respond
properly to an annealing cycle of heating to 15 OOF, holding 2 hr, cooling to 11 80-1 2 OOF,
holding 5 hr, and air cooling. The hardness was 207-217 BHN. In machining 94T40 was
comparable to the production steels 4145, 8645, and 9445*
