Material Selection Guide

Structural Applications

Consider Young's Modulus, yield strength, and specific stiffness for structural components. Steel offers high strength and stiffness, aluminum provides good strength-to-weight ratio.

Thermal Applications

Consider thermal conductivity and expansion. Copper and aluminum excel in heat transfer. Low expansion materials like Invar are used for precision applications.

Weight-Critical Applications

Compare specific strength (strength/density) and specific stiffness. Titanium, aluminum, and composites offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios.

Cost Considerations

Balance performance with material and manufacturing costs. Steel is economical, titanium and composites are expensive but offer unique properties.
