General InformationThe materials contained in SPACEMATDB reflects the materials used on satellites and launchers.
SPACEMATDB combines data from several sources:
  • European Space Materials Database (ESMDB - not available outside ESA) at ESA/ESTEC
  • The ESMAT website database section
  • Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) data and its predecessor MIL-HDBK-5
  • MAPTIS (Materials and Processing Information System) at NASA
  • Aluminum Association (AA)
  • CDA (Copper Development Association)
  • MATWEB
  • NASA outgassing data
  • Datasheets from manufacturers
  • ASM Metals Handbook
  • CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physiscs
  • Laboratory testing at ESTEC or at ESA recognized testhouses (stresscorrosion, galvanic corrosion, thermal cycling, outgassing, offgassing/toxicity, flammability, UVradiation, atomic oxygen, optical, etc)
  • Published acticles by the author on atomic oxygen, stress corrosion and bimetallic corrosion
  • Materials & Processes and SME Courses given by the author
  • Open literature

The text in the general section is from ECSS-Q-70-71A: Space product assurance: Data for selection of space materials and processes
The stress corrosion data is from ECSS-Q-ST-70-36C: Space product assurance: Material selection for controlling stress-corrosion cracking
The bimetallic corrosion data is from ECSS-Q-ST-70C: Space product assurance: Materials, mechanical parts and processes
