Abstract

Design procedures in mechanical engineering are closely coupled with necessity of the analysis of large amount of experimental information about mechanical, physical and technological experimental data as well as about the chemical composition of modern structural materials. Traditional way of such data processing is connected with the hard work with paper handbooks, which often were published in small number of copies. Finding the right material, which meets all the requirements, is very difficult in such approach.

The present era of information technologies (IT) offers another way to analyze the parameters of structural materials. Storing experimental data in database allows one to use the powerful facilities of modern software, where the operations of storage, quick access and data processing are conveniently organized. The second step in database development naturally had to be associated with overall access to information, primarily via the Internet. The description of specialized Internet-portal "Database of Steels and Alloys" developed for storing, quick access and processing of the data of modern structural metallic materials properties is presented. The web-portal’s possibilities for engineers, technologists and other specialists in Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering are discussed.
