Material selection, processes and included grades
Values are references for the stated conditions. General comparison ranges are separate from product-specific calculation references.
Die casting materials
Compare ADC aluminium, ZDC/ZAMAK zinc and AZ/AM magnesium alloys. Review stiffness, corrosion, surface treatment and casting conditions as well as weight.
Investment casting materials
Investment casting is a process, not a grade. Distinguish SCS stainless and SCH heat-resistant cast steels from related SUS wrought grades.
Find investment casting materials
Aluminium extrusion alloys
Candidates for constant-section frames, bars and tubes include EN AW-6060, 6005A and 6082. Compare temper, wall thickness, finish and welded condition.

Sand and permanent-mould casting alloys
Distinguish AC casting alloys from ADC die casting grades. Check heat treatment, porosity, machining allowance and test-bar versus actual-part conditions.

Getting started: density, modulus and allowable stress
Density is mass per volume; modulus describes elastic stiffness. Neither is strength or allowable stress.
Allowable stress depends on code, temperature, load duration, repeated loads and joints. Plastics require test-method, moisture and creep checks.
General material comparison ranges are separate from product-specific calculation references. They do not certify another grade or temper.
Using this information as a reference
Equations assume particular loads, supports and deformation ranges. Check inputs, units and the applicability of each equation. Diagrams explain conditions; they are not manufacturing drawings or proof of safety.
Material values are typical values or reference ranges, not certified product properties or ready-to-use design allowables. They vary with standards, product form, dimensions, temper and temperature. Check the specifications and inspection certificates for the actual product.
Displayed safety factors and checks apply only to the supplied inputs and calculation model. They do not automatically establish the safety of a complete design, including code compliance, service life, fatigue or joints. For actual design, manufacture and use, separately verify applicable regulations and standards, product specifications, and the necessary tests and engineering review.

定番材の条件を直接調べる
材料名だけで強度は決まりません。A5052は調質・板厚、S45Cは熱処理、ABSはグレード・温度・荷重時間を揃えて確認します。
Check common materials directly
A material name alone does not define strength. Match temper and thickness for A5052, heat treatment for S45C, and grade, temperature and duration for ABS.
