Formula
- Property lookup from built-in material table
About this calculator
Part of our Mechanical Calculators collection. Beams, bolts, springs, gears, bearings, and core ME calculations.
How it works
Pick a common carbon or alloy steel or stainless 304 to view typical mechanical and thermal properties. Values are reference data for preliminary design. Always confirm grade, heat treatment, and test certificate data for production work.
Enter your values in the inputs above and click CALCULATE. Results appear on the right without a page reload. No login and no server upload.
Worked example
AISI 1018 carbon steel selected.
- Yield 370 MPa, tensile 440 MPa
- Density 7.87 g/cm³, E = 200 GPa
Result: Typical annealed 1018 properties for preliminary design.
When to use
- Quick material property lookup during design
- Checking yield vs tensile for steel grades
- Density for weight estimates with metal weight calculator
Limitations
- Six common grades only; not a full materials handbook
- Values are typical; heat treatment and form affect actual properties
- Always verify from mill test certificate for production
FAQ
- Which grades are included?
- AISI 1018, 1045, 4140 (annealed and QT), 4340, and stainless 304.
Privacy and accuracy
Every calculation runs locally in your browser. Your design data never leaves your device. Results are intended for preliminary engineering work. Always verify critical designs with qualified review and applicable standards before production use.
