Work of fracture

Feb 02, 2006 1 Replies

Have to give a spiel on materials and I am looking for some figures (however vague) on the effect of heat treatment on this particularly - work of fracture vs yield. The most useful materials for examples being:



4130 steel
2024 aluminium
6061 aluminium
7075 aluminium

Googling doesn't seem to give any useful links



Any ideas?


Cambridge Engineering Selector, by Granta Design. It's a very thorough software database of just about every bulk material property you can think of, for just about every common material you can think of. You can create graphs which plot one property against another for groups of materials... should do exactly what you need.
