Total Materia in Industries
From automotive OEMs and the biggest Tier suppliers to small component producers, Total Materia helps engineers worldwide in their daily work to navigate, understand and compare diversified international materials and specifications.
In addition to expansive international cross reference tables and millions of precise mechanical and physical property records for metallic and non-metallic materials, Total Materia provides more than 150,000 stress strain curves including high strain rates for crash simulation, cyclic properties for 35,000 materials and more. With seamless integration into a unified platform, Total Materia enhances accuracy and efficiency throughout the entire process chain, from design to manufacturing to quality assurance and purchasing.
From diesel engines, to ships, cranes and railways, and from small devices to heavy machinery, precise and reliable information about materials and their properties are a vital part of the complete value chain.
The Total Metals dataset in combination with the Extended Range advanced properties collection, adds value by supporting CAE simulations, allowing cost savings through cross-referencing for creating bills of materials with equivalents, and providing mechanical properties data used in critical manufacturing and maintenance activities for companies big and small all over the world.
For companies that champion diversified engineering disciplines at the leading edge of technology, the importance of precise, reliable material properties data can never be overstated. Often with geographically distributed projects and teams all over the world, and with the increasing pressure of deadlines and costs, these ever present challenges make readily available information about materials and their properties, not only advantageous, but a must-have.
The Total Materia platform supports the complete product lifecycle, from unique stress-strain curves and fatigue properties for CAE simulations within the Extended Range module, to material properties and cross-referencing for engineering and manufacturing and finding alternatives for material procurement and sourcing within Total Metals and PolyPLUS.
In oil, gas, power generation and utilities, Total Materia supports professionals worldwide working with materials throughout the complete equipment lifecycle, from initial design and blueprinting, to manufacturing and assembly, to maintenance and finally decommissioning.
Providing properties at elevated temperatures, ASME allowable stresses, stress-strain, fatigue, creep properties, toughness at subzero temperatures, and even corrosion behavior, Total Materia provides a unique collection of information that covers an expansive range of operating conditions and environments.
Being the world’s largest database for metallic materials, Total Metals is traditionally the first choice for companies big and small that have production, processing and working with metals at the core of their business.
From deciphering unknown foreign designations, getting detailed properties for process and product control, to cross-referencing and comparison of international materials, and additional information about heat treatment and machinability, Total Metals helps hundreds of companies worldwide in the metals sector in achieving better results. Moreover, the SmartComp module for identification of unknown materials and Tracker for monitoring changes in international standards elevate the level of quality control and inspection activities and assist in driving further business best practices.
Precise information is fundamental in supporting core business processes, whether it be quality assurance in the manufacturing environment or more detailed analytical activities such as material comparison and identification. Total Materia, the world's largest material properties database, with its patented module for material identification SmartComp are designed to increase efficiency of inspection and analysis, and are trusted by the world's leading spectrometer producers.
In the world of quality assurance, inspection and laboratories, one can never overstate the importance of accuracy and reliability. This is why at Total Materia we have invested in multiple certification processes - our company quality processes, procedures and customer service exceed the standards of ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.
At the cutting edge of engineering design and material application, the Aerospace industry is consistently striving to improve on existing technologies to maintain critical advantages from both a competitive, and performance perspective.
Total Materia helps support the industry by providing the most comprehensive material properties resource available as well as in-depth material comparison based on expansive cross-reference tables, therefore allowing minimization of trial and error in designing high performance materials and helping to realize key sector objectives of accelerating materials transition from concept to service.
Today’s dynamic pace of research and education puts new requirements and challenges in front of researchers, educators and students. With the quantity of technical information at the global level doubling every 18 months, the importance of comprehensive, multidimensional searchable and easily accessible databases can never be overstated.
A unique collection of mechanical and physical properties from materials from all over the world, including referenced experimental data covering stress-strain curves, fatigue data, and more, facilitates research and education in the fields of material science, FEA and CAE simulations, reverse engineering, spectrometry, and general engineering. Moreover, a large collection of over 1000 online articles, with hundreds of citations in Wikipedia alone, provides a great primer for a quick and easy insight into new fields and topics about materials and their properties.
The Total Materia platform attracts a myriad of industries from all over the world, including many sectors that are not immediately associated with materials properties, but have multiple specific engineering needs. From the toy industry, small camera production to the serving world’s largest telescopes, artisan precision watch making, movie making and Disneyland to mass production of cement, rubber and furniture, Total Materia matches this diversity by offering the most expansive and versatile materials database available.
Covering a vast scope of datasets and functionalities, such as instant deciphering of unknown grades and specifications, international material cross-referencing, and finding alternatives for material procurement and sourcing within Total Metals and PolyPLUS, for a wide range of metallic and nonmetallic materials, Total Materia fulfills the needs of highly diversified businesses and provides incomparable assistance in optimizing all areas of the material work flow.
