High Temperature Alloys

Updates to the High Temperature Alloy Data database, part of the Advanced Materials – High Temperature Alloys data bundle.

Material card exporters for the following LS-DYNA models have been added:
  • MAT_001 – Isotropic hypoelastic material
  • MAT_020 – Material for rigid body assignment
  • MAT_024 – Isotropic elasto-plastic material
Default unit system is mm–g–ms, with stress and density values scaled to align with LS-DYNA’s native unit system. In the ‘mm–g–ms (Consistent)’ unit system:
  • All stress quantities are exported in GPa
  • Density is exported in kg/mm³
MAT_024 export details:
  • When available, a true stress vs. plastic strain curve is exported to define plasticity.
  • If the curve is unavailable, ideal plasticity is assumed using only the yield stress (no hardening).
  • Elongation at failure is exported where available.

All data is temperature-dependent, and a complete MAT_024 card is exported only when all required properties are available at the same temperature.
