Evaluated Data
[Includes the Nist Superconducting Materials Database, the NIST Structural Ceramics Database, and a collection of Property Data Summaries.]

Guide to Data Centers and Sources
[Provides links and descriptions for materials data centers and sources of information.]

Tools and Resources

A new Property Data Summary has been added for TiB₂.

In addition, a new version of the NIST Structural Ceramics Database (SCD) is available. Established in 1990 and previously upgraded in 1993 and 1998, the SCD is now nearly double the size of the 1998 version and provides a comprehensive collection of materials property data for advanced ceramics. With more than 30000 numeric values, the SCD covers the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of oxide (alumina, beryllia, MgO, ...), boride (TiB₂,...), carbide (SiC, boron carbide,...), nitride (AlN, BN, silicon nitride, ...), and oxynitride (AlON, SiAlON,...) ceramic materials. In addition to the numeric data, the SCD provides full bibliographic references to the sources of the data, along with descriptions of the materials and the measurement methods.

NIST is an agency of the
