Ashby's materials selection chart

Ashby's Materials Selection Chart is a visual tool that helps engineers compare different materials based on two key properties, such as strength and weight. By plotting materials on this chart, designers can easily identify which materials best suit specific applications, balancing performance with factors like cost or durability. It streamlines the decision-making process by providing a clear overview of material options, allowing for efficient selection tailored to the requirements of a project.
