MMPDS MMPDS-15 Chapter 2 – Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) Handbook – Chapter 2 – Steel Alloys

The primary purpose of this Handbook is to provide a source of statistically based design values for commonly used metallic materials and joints. Additionally, other mechanical and physical properties needed for the design of aerospace structures are included.

This chapter contains the engineering properties and related characteristics of steels used in aircraftand missile structural applications. General comments on engineering properties and other considerationsrelated to alloy selection are presented in Section 2.1. Mechanical and physical property data andcharacteristics pertinent to specific steel groups or individual steels are reported in Sections 2.2 through 2.7.Element properties are presented in Section 2.8.
