Total Materia for Automotive

Optimizing CAE and Design activities through fingertip access to the world’s most
comprehensive material properties resource.
Key to Metals AG is the developer of Total Materia, the world’s most comprehensive materials database including
the standard Total Materia data set of linear material properties and also our unique collection of advanced property
data which provides stress-strain curves, formability diagrams, fatigue data, and more for thousands of materials
and is designed to save time and money through intelligent search methods and enhance the depth and quality of
information required for CAE and FEA analysis.

“The Total Materia


database is a very
important tool for our
engineers and technical
activities as a whole.
I would therefore like to
thank you for your service
and making the database
available for the market.”
Dr. Ricardo Testi
Piaggio Ltd.

Solution Highlights
Total Materia is used as a common platform
in the automotive industry by efficiently and
accurately minimizing time spent on searching
for material properties and ensuring accuracy
and consistency throughout the entire workflow.
From design and CAE , powertrain engineering,
general manufacturing, to testing and validation,
Total Materia has comprehensive application.
Product Specification
• Properties for more than 280,000 materials including metallic and
non-metallic used readily in the automotive industry
• Cross-reference tables containing over 15M connections between
global material specifications driving a common language between
HQ and R&D/Manufacturing centers worldwide.
• Experimental non-linear data such as high strain, stress-strain
curves for crash simulations.
• Exporting of critical information into formats suitable for direct CAE
software use.

Use Case: Quality and Material Analysis


• Analysis labs responsible for investigating
non-conforming products, failure analysis,
competition related reverse engineering need
access to cross-references, properties and
comparison tools.
• Specific investigations in analysis include
investigations into chemical analysis,
mechanical and physical property related
failures. Lab Responsible
• Comparing chemical analysis results from (Reviewing Testing Results)
spectrometers against >220,000 global
metals to control supplier specifications
and find equivalent materials and possible
replacements.
• Verification of tensile and fatigues testing to
Mechanical & Chemical
assess material quality and compare against Physical Testing Analysis
standard specification material properties in
Extended Range.
• Comparing materials and properties to make
informed proposals for material replacement
and to update internal specifications.
