Abstract
This report conducts a material selection of different types of steel for UBC Steel Bridge Team. I am a third-year material engineering student, so the result from this material selection can only be taken into consideration but not fully adopted. As part of my academic journey, it is possible for technical mistakes in this material selection process. The mechanic properties are the most effective category of properties, making it necessary to be justified from the steel bridge design and chosen in accordance with the objective of the team. An introduction for currently-used steel properties and the expected steel properties is provided. The examination focus on how different alloy compositions of steel changes its properties. The properties of the steel are examined in three main aspects: hardness, strength, and toughness. The results suggest that more nickel, manganese, and chromium in the steel provide better steel for the team to use. Further research is needed if a more precise material selection is required.
