本手册的主要目的是为常用金属材料和接头提供基于统计的设计值来源。此外，还包括航空航天结构设计所需的其他机械和物理性能。本章包含飞机用钢的工程特性和相关特性 以及导弹结构应用。工程特性和其他考虑的一般性意见 与合金选择相关的内容见第2.1节。机械和物理性能数据以及 第2.2节至第2节报告了与特定钢组或单个钢相关的特性。 7. 元件特性见第2.8节。

The primary purpose of this Handbook is to provide a source of statistically based design values for commonly used metallic materials and joints. Additionally, other mechanical and physical properties needed for the design of aerospace structures are included.This chapter contains the engineering properties and related characteristics of steels used in aircraft and missile structural applications. General comments on engineering properties and other considerations related to alloy selection are presented in Section 2.1. Mechanical and physical property data and characteristics pertinent to specific steel groups or individual steels are reported in Sections 2.2 through 2.7. Element properties are presented in Section 2.8.
