Steel — AISI 1005

Status: Baseline material confirmed (Gen 002) NX Material Name: "beam material" (inherited by thin shell property)


Properties

Property Value Units Source Confidence
Standard AISI / SAE KBS session Confirmed
Grade 1005 KBS session ("NSE steel 10 or 5" = ANSI Steel 1005) Confirmed
Density 7.3 g/cm³ (7,300 kg/m³) KBS session — Antoine stated directly Confirmed
E (Young's modulus) ~200 GPa Typical for AISI 1005 — needs NX verification 🟡 Estimated
Yield strength ~285 MPa Typical for AISI 1005 (cold-drawn) — needs NX verification 🟡 Estimated
UTS ~330 MPa Typical for AISI 1005 — needs NX verification 🟡 Estimated
Poisson's ratio ~0.29 Typical for carbon steel — needs NX verification 🟡 Estimated
Elongation ~20 % Typical for AISI 1005 — needs verification 🟡 Estimated

Notes on AISI 1005

  • AISI 1005 is a low-carbon plain steel (0.06% max C) in the 10xx series
  • Commonly used for structural applications — good weldability, moderate strength
  • NX material library designation may vary (Antoine said "NSE steel 10 or 5" which maps to ANSI/AISI Steel 1005)
  • Density note: Antoine stated 7.3 g/cm³. Standard steel is 7.85 g/cm³. The 7.3 value may be the NX library default or a specific setting. This affects mass calculation directly.

Stress Allowable

Parameter Value Basis Status
Stress constraint 130 MPa From intake — Gap G9 🟡 Not yet confirmed for Gen 002
Implied safety factor ~2.2 vs. 285 MPa yield (estimated) Conservative

⚠️ Need to confirm whether the 130 MPa stress limit from Gen 001 intake still applies given the mass discrepancy resolution. The 130 MPa may have been set for the ~974 kg model.

Future Material Expansion

Antoine explicitly requested future material support (KBS session 20260210-163801):

Material Standard Priority Notes
Aluminum 6061 Future Antoine: "change this type of material for aluminum, 6061"
Stainless Steel ANSI 310 ANSI 310 Future Antoine: "stainless steel. ANSI, let's say 310"

Antoine's instruction: "Don't start with [these]. Just add this as a future expansion for the optimization process."

Material Expansion Implications

  • Multi-material optimization would change the problem fundamentally:
    • Different E, ρ, σ_y for each material → different optimal geometries
    • Could be handled as a categorical DV or separate optimization runs per material
    • Aluminum 6061: E ≈ 69 GPa, ρ ≈ 2.7 g/cm³, σ_y ≈ 276 MPa — lighter but much less stiff
    • SS 310: E ≈ 200 GPa, ρ ≈ 8.0 g/cm³, σ_y ≈ 205 MPa — heavier, similar stiffness, lower yield

History

  • Gen 001 (2026-02-09): Placeholder — only knew "Steel (AISI)"
  • Gen 002 (2026-02-10): Confirmed AISI 1005 from KBS session. Density confirmed 7.3 g/cm³. Future materials flagged (Al 6061, SS 310). Typical mechanical properties added (pending NX verification).
