In the Masterwork mod, there are a variety of new weapons grade metal materials. This includes alternate industries for metals of similar quality or even better than iron and steel. Note, that in general your enemies will have access to high quality materials too!

Metal Industries

This might be a nice place to talk about the new industries like the Boneyard, the Damascene powder process, Glassforge, Blast furnace, whatever.

List of metals

Legend:

Tile Color corresponds to how items made from that metal are displayed in game, foreground and background colors.
Source Ore(s) indicates the specific ores that can provide a metal or basic recipe for an alloy.
Density is used to determine the different weight of finished objects and force of weapon strikes. Value shown here is g/cm3, which is the raw value divided by 103
Melting point is used to determine if a material is magma-safe or not: magma is 12000°U.
Material value is what the base value of an object made of this metal is multiplied by to determine its worth.
Impact yield: Used for blunt-force combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa).
Impact fracture: Used for blunt-force combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa).
Impact elasticity: Used for blunt-force combat; lower is better. This is the raw value.
Shear yield: Used for cutting calculations in combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa).
Shear fracture: Used for cutting calculations in combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa).
Shear elasticity: Used for cutting calculations in combat; lower is better. This is the raw value.
  • General Term Explanations (From Wikipedia)
Yield Strength - The stress at which material strain changes from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, causing it to deform permanently.
Fracture Strength - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture.
Stress - Force per area = F/A
Strain - Deformation of a solid due to stress = Stress/Young's Modulus
