This is the FreeCAD standard material library. Its intended to gather the most commen Material definitions.
How to do a description is explained here:

Please help!
Enlargen the base of Materials for FreeCAD will greatly benefit the usability of FreeCAD. So please
help us to add new Materials, review existing ones or add additional vlaues. A good source for material
defininitons are text-books or the www.matweb.com database.

This is work in progress. Please verify material properties before use.
Please use provided TEMPLATE.FCMat file to create new materials
