Design Mechanical and Physical Properties (room temperature)
Converted from the handbook table (ksi, Msi, lb/in³) and rounded to 4 significant figures; dimension bands in inches with mm in parentheses. Bases: A and B are statistical minimums (99 % and 90 % probability at 95 % confidence), S the specification minimum. Grain directions: L longitudinal, LT long transverse, ST short transverse.
| Dimension band | area 0–2 in2 (0–1290 mm²) | area 2.000–2.999 in2 (1290–1935 mm²) | area 3.000–4.999 in2 (1935–3225 mm²) | area 5.000–39.999 in2 (3226–25810 mm²) | |
