All properties values are at room temperature unless otherwise noted. Engineering data are representative, and are not intended as absolute nor warrantable. Data shown is blended from multiple sources and therefore illustrates the marketplace. The relative rankings are approximate and are based on representative values if the particular material has a range of values for a given property.

Please Note: This Designer's guide is compiled of materials currently machined by China Precision Ceramic and a few others included for reference.
