INTRODUCTION

This Item is intended to provide representative values for a
number of material properties required in approximate calculations
associated with tribology.

With many materials a wide range of property values is
attainable by, for example, heat-treatment or small changes in
composition. The quoted values are, therefore, only typical values
likely to be met in tribological applications. Where more precise
values are required, the user is advised to consult the
specification for the particular material of interest.

Unless otherwise stated, all material properties are quoted for
room temperature (20°C).
