Materials Selection Wallchart

These six charts compare key properties for different classes of materials - engineering composites, engineering alloys, engineering ceramics, porous ceramics, natural materials (wood and cork), polymer foams, engineering polymers and elastomers. Each provides both quantitative and comparative information which should help engineers of all levels determine the best range of materials to be used in a particular application or environment.

List of contents
