Material Pages
This part provides an overview of the Horizon material page, detailing how to access and interpret material information under various conditions. It covers the available tools and options for filtering and searching for specific properties, products, or heat treatments. Additionally, the document explains how to use the Equivalents Finder to locate similar or equivalent materials and the Advanced Search feature to find missing data.
Material Pages Overview for Total Materia Horizon
The Material Pages in Total Materia Horizon serve as the central hub for accessing and analyzing detailed material properties. Each material page offers you an intuitive interface to explore the key characteristics of materials, which is vital for engineering design, material selection, and verification.
Here is a breakdown of the key features across a Material Page and how to interpret them:
Material Identification and General Information
On each material page, you can view key material identification details:
Material Number: (e.g., "304", "7075").
Country/Standard: This section informs you of the governing standard for the material (e.g., United States/AISI).
Material Group: Provides the classification of the material (e.g., "Ferrous Alloys / Stainless Steels"), helping you easily identify the material type.
Indicative Price: This provides a rough estimation of the material cost, which can aid in budgeting and procurement processes.
Navigating Material Properties
You can explore various types of material data, broken down in different sections on the material page.
Mechanical and Physical Properties
Mechanical Properties: Detailed breakdowns of strength, ductility, and hardness. Includes properties such as Yield Strength, Tensile Strength, Elongation, etc.
Physical Properties: Information on thermal, or optical behavior. Includes properties such as Density, Modulus of Elasticity, Thermal Conductivity, etc.
Heat Treatment and Metallography: Understanding how heat treatment alters the material structure is crucial for tailoring the material for specific uses.
For each property, you can toggle between different views:
Synthetic View: Offers a summarized, condensed overview of the most essential material properties, across a range of temperatures.
Details View: Presents an in-depth breakdown of properties across varying conditions.
Composition, Heat Treatment, Metallography, and Machinability
Composition: provides the chemical makeup of the material, detailing the percentages of key elements, helping you assess its suitability for various applications and compliance with standards.
Heat Treatment: details the effects of different heat treatments (e.g., annealing, quenching) on the material's properties, offering crucial data for optimizing mechanical performance.
Metallography: offers insights into the material's microstructure, helping predict performance based on grain structure, phase distribution, and other microscopic features.
Machinability: outlines how the material responds to machining processes, offering data on cutting speeds, tool wear, and overall machinability to guide efficient manufacturing.
Cross Referencing and Equivalents Finder
The Cross Referencing section offers the capability to identify material equivalents across various international standards. This section shows you the number of equivalent materials which indicate how many matching or similar materials exist for that particular material according to different standards. This tool is particularly useful for engineers working in international projects where local material standards differ, ensuring material compatibility in different engineering contexts.
