NIMS creep and fatigue data, available in GRANTA MI

A fatigue datasheet for a Carburizing Steel (0.20C-1Cr, FDS037, JIS SCr4O2). The graph of rotating bending fatigue has been filtered to show only those materials polished with a cloth, but with different hardenings. The resulting chart can be copied to the clipboard, or the raw data itself can be exported.This seminar will provide first demonstrations of searchable, interactive access to NIMS metals property data using GRANTA MI. This world-leading data-set results from years of continuous testing of metals including carbon steels, low alloy steels, high chromium steels, and austenitic stainless steels, as well as iron-based, nickel-based, and cobalt-based alloys.

This data, of critical importance in materials selection and longevity assessments for applications such as pipework and vessels at power stations and petrochemical plants, has previously only been generally available as published graphs and figures. The launch of the new GRANTA MI data module, will provide users with a means of accessing and using the underlying raw numerical data, for the first time. The convenient web browser-based access will also make it easy for users to search, plot, and export data for use in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE).

Further details of this new data module, including the descriptions of the creep and fatigue test results included, are now available on the website. If you are interested in this topic, why not help to guide Granta's implementation of this data by letting us know how it can best meet your needs?
