Phase-2 ingestion boundary. Phase 1 remains the visual/navigation baseline; the new evidence-controlled records are a controlled pilot. Legacy note: This page is an engineering taxonomy, selection and dependency reference. It does not publish design allowables. Any numerical property promoted later must bind composition or grade, units, temperature/environment, test basis, source, evidence level and commercial availability. The public library remains a Phase-1 classification and evidence architecture. Detailed MatWeb-style property records are a later controlled population phase.
