Free sources for material property data 5

[EngineerDave]

What are some good free sources for material property data? In particular I'm looking for info on a broad range of stainless steels.

The ASM volumes are an option but they aren't at ready use. Are there any sites you'd recommend. I want to find some information for a broad range of grades.

Another great source (& easy to navigate) is the Stainless Steel Property Database at

This thread should be made into a Comprehensive listing... We could all use a list of the man and varied free list of materials data sources.. i've found out about several through this board...

Hmmmm ..

When I get some free time I'll try and compile a list.....

I'll post here for edits and addendums.

Thanks for the links guys.

Yeah I'm actually making my own little web page full of good links. I just want the best of course. Sometimes you notice people with a web page full of way too many links. It's hard to know what is useful.
