5.1. Mechanical Properties at Room Temperature
5.1.1 Typical Tensile Properties and Hardness Values - Metric Units
5.1.2 Typical Tensile Properties and Hardness Values - SI and English Units
5.1.3 Typical Tensile Properties and Hardness Values - American Units
The values shown represent reasonable approximations for general engineering use, taking account of variations in composition and manufacturing procedures. For design purposes, national specifications should be consulted.
For a given temper, individual elongation values may show some variation above or below the typical values indicated.
It will be noted that tables 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, giving typical tensile properties and hardness values in Metric, English, and American units respectively are not directly comparable. This is because the properties quoted reflect to some extent the metalworking techniques, specification practices, and testing procedures in the countries concerned, and in view of the different sizes of products referred to in these tables. Individual manufacturers of semi-fabricated products, can, however, normally meet the requirements of any national standards.
