Material selection is one of the major points that should be taken into account seriously in the engineering design stage. Each material has various properties such as mechanical, thermal, electrical, physical, environmental, optical and biological properties. It is expected that an information source such as the proposed database will provide all the necessary facts and figures to aid both designers and manufacturing engineers. In the scope of this Paper, the aim was to develop a database and a software package for material selection to help the design engineer in his decision making process. The database developed by using Microsoft Visual Studio and also contains different materials standards and can be updated if the user wants. Done the analysis for different components and results should be storage in Database by using visual studio. All features can be used as part of a sequential screening process, guiding the user to an eventual metal shortlist or selection.
