About MaterialRegistry
An open platform for engineering material data, built to simplify cross-referencing between international standards.
The Problem
Engineers worldwide face a common challenge: the same material is known by different names and codes across various international standards. Stainless steel 304, for example, is called:
- AISI 304 in the United States
- 1.4301 in Germany (DIN/EN)
- SUS304 in Japan (JIS)
- S30400 (UNS designation)
- X5CrNi18-10 (EN chemical designation)
Finding equivalent materials across standards typically means searching through scattered PDF catalogs, outdated spreadsheets, or expensive proprietary databases.
Our Solution
MaterialRegistry provides a free, open database of engineering materials with cross-references between all major international standards. Simply search for any material code, and instantly see its equivalents in other standards.
Features
- Cross-Reference Search - Search by any standard code and find equivalents
- Multiple Standards - AISI, DIN, EN, JIS, UNS, ASTM, BS, GOST, GB, ISO
- Material Properties - Mechanical and physical properties with sources
- Open API - Integrate material data into your own applications
- Community Driven - Open source and community contributions welcome
Technology
MaterialRegistry is built with modern web technologies:
- SvelteKit for the frontend
- Cloudflare Workers for the API
- Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) for the database
- Fully open source
