What's New in Our Databases
April 2025 - AHAD/HPAD - Addition of INCONEL Alloy 740H
INCONEL Alloy 740H has been added to the High Performance Alloys Database (HPAD) and the Aerospace and High Performance Alloys Database (AHAD).
INCONEL 740H is a nickel-based superalloy designed for applications at high temperature and pressure, especially in ultra-supercritical power plants. It derives strength through precipitation of the gamma prime phase and was developed as an improvement of its predecessor IN740. It possesses a unique combination of high strength, creep resistance and excellent corrosion resistance.
Applications include both superheater and reheater tubes, steam headers, and piping in power generation systems requiring materials tolerant of aggressive environments and long exposure at high pressure and temperature. INCONEL 740H has been approved for welded construction of pressure vessels and pipe in ASME codes.
March 2025 - MCMD - Version 3 of MCMD now available
Version 3 of the Microelectronic and Composite Materials Database (MCMD) is now available. There were 93 new materials added with 76 new properties. The additional Material Groups are Composites-Ceramics Matrix, Composites from 3D Printing Waste and Miscellaneous Metal Alloy Materials. The new property groups are Mechanical Properties?Relative Strength and Fracture/Toughness. There are now a total of 1,527 materials in the database with a total of 12,928 datasets and 32,875 data curves. We invite you to browse the Table of Contents (https://cindasdata.com/Applications/MCMD/TOC) to see if the new materials fit your needs.
December 2024 - AHAD/ASMD - Update to Ferrium M54
Ferrium M54 is a secondary hardening, ultra-high strength martensitic steel that exhibits high toughness, high resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and very high strength with an ultimate strength of 285 ksi or greater. It has robust thermal processing that allows for optimized precipitation of an efficient carbide dispersion, maximizing strength, toughness, and thermal stability. Ferrium M54 demonstrates increased resistance to stress corrosion cracking compared to components made from conventional ultra-high strength steels. It was designed for use in applications such as landing gear components, arrestment gear, drive shafts, blast-resistant or impact containment devices, armor, actuators, structural components. This update has a number of revised figures and contains new data on properties of sheet and plate product forms, and compressive engineering and true stress-strain curves.
September 2024 - HPAD/AHAD - New Chapter Added - SCF 19
A new chapter on alloy SCF 19 has recently been added to the HPAD and AHAD databases. This chapter was authored by Rick Frank who recently retired after a 45-year career with Carpenter Technologies where he specialized in the metallurgy of wrought superalloys. Alloy SCF 19 is a nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel with Mo addition for improved stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance. The alloy is capable of exceeding minimum yield strength of 140 ksi in the warm-worked condition. Due to an excellent combination of SCC resistance, chloride pitting resistance, high strength and low magnetic permeability, it finds applications as a non-magnetic drill collar and as a Measurement While Drilling/ Logging While Drilling (MWD/LWD) housing alloy in some of the harshest oil and gas drilling conditions.
August 2024 - CLTD - Update to CLTD
CINDAS LLC?s Cryogenic and Low Temperatures Database (CLTD) Version 5 has been released. This new version adds 34 new materials, with 55 new properties. The new materials are primarily austenitic steels such as 304/304L, 310, 321, 316/316L, cast 316, cast 304/304L and Fe-18-Cr. Other newly added data is on nano and graphene composites and reinforced concrete. This update includes 188 new datasets and 596 data curves. You can see the materials and properties by using the Table of Contents link from the CLTD webpage. https://cindasdata.com/Applications/CLTD/TOC. Choose the material group and then the material. You will see the property/independent variable combinations shown at the bottom of the screen.
