I think the simplest answer is to go to Flexitallic's website or give them a call.

The material normally used in gaskets is referred to as ARMCO Iron.
Depending on your end use of the material you could get by with using the values for AISI 1010 steel.

Are you considering this for a gasket and if so, the need values for calculation of gasket seating stresses are in the code books or the gasket manufacturers catalogue.
