Typical Metallurgical Failure Mechanisms

Understanding metallurgical concepts will assist engineering and other personnel gain a greater comprehension of failure analysis, engineering, and manufacturing of components. The linked pages above provide an introduction to the metallurgy of some important engineering metals.

Numbering Systems for Metals and Alloys

A number of diverse numbering systems have been developed for metals and alloys by a variety of industry associations, standards organizations, and engineering societies. Frequently, the designations used are related to a specification for the material.

Some of the numbering systems in use include those listed below:

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI)
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
American Welding Society (AWS)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Steel Founders Society of America
Aluminum Association
Copper Development Association
U.S. Department of Defense (Military Specifications)
General Accounting Office (Federal Specifications)
