Metal strength in relation with temperature

Post by Aviator168 »

After looking around, I am only able to find this. It looks like 800c is as high as I want to go so not to pass 40% of ultimate strength. We also have to consider fatigue cycles as well.

Does anyone have information on other metals and alloys?

From my association with homebuiltairplanes.com. Fatigue of certain material we use.

This could be handy info, we should have a place where it can be easily got at, along with co-efficient of friction, and other useful stuff.
