Overview

Overview of Material Page

1. Material Overview Section

This section provides critical details about the material, including its official designation, alternative names, and its classification within global standards (highlighted in Number 1 in the image). Specifically, this section includes:

• Material Name/Designation: The primary numerical or alphanumerical identifier for the material (e.g., "1.4404").

• Material Designation: A more detailed name, including the chemical composition or alloy type (e.g., "X2CrNiMo17-12-2").

• Alternative Designations: Any alternative or historical names the material may be known by in various regions or standards (e.g., "16Cr-12Ni-2Mo").

• Country/Standard: The governing standard body and the country for this material specification (e.g., "United States / ASME").

• Material Group (Taxonomy): The category or group this material falls under, typically based on its alloy family (e.g., "Ferrous Alloys / Stainless Steels").

1. Action Buttons

   In the top right corner, you’ll find various buttons that allow for quick actions related to the material (highlighted in Number 2 in the image). These include:

   • Add to Material List Builder: Adds the current material to your customized list, helping you keep track of multiple materials for comparison or reporting.

   • Add to Report Builder: Includes this material in your report, making it easy to generate documents or summaries for your projects.

   • Export to CAx: Allows you to export material data in different formats, ensuring compatibility with various software or engineering tools.

   • Bookmark page: Saves the current material page for easy access later, making it convenient for you to revisit frequently used materials.

2. Right Menu

The right-hand menu provides an organized structure for accessing different material properties (highlighted in Number 3 in the image).

Each section represents a property group, such as Mechanical Properties, Heat Treatment, and Metallography. Next to each property group, the numbers indicate how many specific properties are available within that group (e.g., 199 Mechanical Properties). This menu allows you to:

• Quickly Access different property categories, like Composition or Physical Properties.

• View Expanded Data within subcategories, including advanced properties like stress-strain diagrams, fatigue data, or tribology.
