ASTM & SAE & Design Accelerator (DA)

[Anonymous]

I am trying to use DA in Inv-10 to do some calculations however, when I get to the Tab that allows you to setup the custom material under the Bolted Plates, under "plates" I noticed that all of the material is listed as "SAE" which would be fine but Ryerson Tull lists all of there material as "ASTM"

I have done digging in here and alot over @goggle but and have found nothing other then what SAE and ASTM mean's but I cannot find an equilvant chart or if such a thing exsist or if Im totally on the wrong page. So I figured maybe Id get lucky here and ask if anyone can tell or point me in the direction of where one could come across a chart (again if this exsist) that shows a code such as....

ASTM A563 or (SAE Equilvant 1060) ect.......

If i understood you properly you are looking for some "chart" which tells
you which material under ASTM designation is material under SAE designation.

There is the UNS - Unified Numbering System - that was developed through a
joint effort of the ASTM and the SAE to provide a means of correlating the
different numbering systems for metals and alloys that have a commercial
standing. This system avoids the confusion caused when more than one
identification number is used to specify the same material, or when the same
number is assigned to two entirely different materials (source Machinery's
26th Edition - Numbering System, chapter).

e.g.
1030 ...... G10300
1035 ...... G10350
In our materials we used the SAE designation and what we probably missing is
the UNS number. Would it be helpfull for you if we add UNS designation to
our materials?

That would be helpful however, most of the time in the US or at most engineering firms I have worked at in the past generally speaking I have seen almost every Engineer or Mechanical Designer have Jorgeson Material Catalog or a Ryerson Tull Catalog and those gents usually list right above there material an ASTM numberfor there material.

The link attached is an example of just such a material

Like a I said above it would be nice to have what you suggested, or you could simply just list what material SAE 1020 is, ie: "low carbon steel" So that the user wouldnt have to look in a secondary source taking up additional time.

Just my 3 Cents worth 🙂
