a Compression test specimens were cylinders 1.5 in. (38 mm) in length and 0.5 in. (13 mm) in diameter, machined from chill castings 2 in. (51 mm) in length and
0.75 in (19 mm) in diameter. The Brinell tests were made on the bottom of parallel machined specimens cast in a mold 2 in. (51 mm) in diameter and 0.0625 in.
(16 mm) deep at room temperature
b Data not available on alloys 11 and 13.
c The specific gravity multiplied by 0.0361 equals the mass density in pounds per cubic inch.
d The values for yield point were taken from stress-strain curves at a deformation of 0.125 percent of gage length.
e Johnsons apparent elastic limit is taken as the unit stress at the point where the slope of the tangent to the curve is two-thirds its slope at the origin.
f The ultimate strength values were taken as the unit load necessary to produce a deformation of 25 percent of the specimen length.
g These values are the average Brinell number of three impressions on each alloy, using a 10-mm (0.39-in) ball and a 500-kg (1102.3 lb) load applied for 30 s.
