Werk24 Understands Materials from Technical Drawings
Understanding the material used to manufacture a component is essential to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product. However, identifying the correct material from technical drawings can be time-consuming and challenging, especially when several standards and naming conventions exist for the same material.
On a technical drawing, the material is typically identified in the title block or the notes section. There are examples of the materials placed in different sections below. This information includes the relevant properties of a material.
Challenges of Identifying Materials
Companies can identify material names on their own, but it can be a daunting task due to the variations in material names and standards. For example, a material designation: "ALU SHEET 5754 (AG3) CONDITION H111 NT A50541", indicates that the part is made of aluminum sheet of grade 5754 with a temper of H111, but it can also be designated as "EN AW5754 H111" in a different technical drawing, given in the image below. Additionally, the same material can have other names in different languages, and ensuring consistency in material identification across various suppliers and partners is more challenging. For instance, the “Copper” is written like “Kupfer” in German technical drawings. Also, it takes a significant amount of time and effort to keep up with the updates and modifications in these material standards.
