Development of A Code in Python Programming Language To Generate Ashby Chart Applied For Materials Selection

This document describes the development of a Python code to generate Ashby charts, which are scatter diagrams used in materials selection. The code was developed to provide a free and open-source alternative to expensive commercial software. It allows users to generate Ashby charts comparing the properties of 75 materials on various property-property diagrams. The results show the charts produced by the code are suitable for materials selection and resemble commercial Ashby diagrams with errors of less than 16%. The code provides engineers with a free tool to help select materials based on their graphical properties.

Conclusions:
In the present study, a Python code was proposed
to generate a scatter diagrams, which are, knows as
Ashby charts. Obtained results shown that the
Ashby charts obtained with the proposed code are
suitable for use in the selection of materials using
the graphical method, due to their great similarity
to the original Ashby diagrams, generally obtaining
errors of less than 16%.
