[vsrinivasan]

Any one can give the Impact strength value of general Application steel and Aluminium(J/m).Please let me clarify which one would absorb maximum amount of impact energy and why?

I think you have to take a look at the Charpy test.
The ASME Code is wide on this topic. SAE is also good. Alberto
