Is there a chart of some sort that depicts the strengths and weight of all known pure metals and alloys?

Question

I'm a soldier, and my fellow soldiers and I get together once a weekend and try to brainstorm up ways to defeat the IED threat. We've dreamt up hundreds of variations of our present day armor but the fact we keep running into is weight issues if we keep tacking on armor our vehicles will be over-burdened with weight issues and everything from suspension to transmission to motor problems occur. We need a chart to compare strength and weight. Until we figure out a solution our buddies will keep on dying and 60% of all our thoughts will still be directed towards defeating this threat. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think that there is just one chart that shows the information that you want. But I would say that the information is pretty much contained in the ASM Handbooks: http://www.asminternational.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Bookstore/ASM_Handbooks/ASM_Handbooks.htm

Besides strength : weight other things need to be considered such as ability to machine parts out of it, its corrosion resistance, Its weldability, and cost.

you would be able to desire to outline what you mean via "maximum appropriate" Tensile potential in a fabric isn't a handbook, Lead is a heavy dense metallic that would end radiation whether that is undesirable at withstanding warmth Titanium is often generic by using fact the main effective textile in its very own top that we'd planned to be a metallic, that is 40 5% lighter than extreme carbon metallic. Alloy is the respond, each and every metallic factor ordinary to guy would properly be better via introducing yet another factor. As an Engineer i'm gonna stick my neck out and say Titanium- by using fact that is broadly used. There are alloys that use components like Zirconium which might make it impervious to corrosion. except you're desirous to construct a motor vehicle that would desire to navigate Saturn's rings. carry on with sturdy previous Titanium-- Scania use it to make conrods and Scania Conrods under no circumstances smash :P

Answer 3

there is a handbook, but not a chart that covers all materials.
you can look here for properties by category of metal...
