Figure 1. Ashby diagrams used for material selection: ferrous metal alloys are represented in green, non-ferrous metal alloys in purple and red, plastics in blue, and composite materials with both plastic and metal matrices in brown and orange. The black lines are the maximum deterioration of parameters [53].
