Conclusion & Next Steps

This large table demonstrates that you can indeed host dozens—if not hundreds—of materials within an interactive web database. With the search and highlight features, you can quickly zoom in on the materials relevant to your project. If you need even more advanced filtering (like numeric ranges for yield strength or density), consider adding additional input fields and JavaScript logic to show or hide rows accordingly.

When working on critical designs, always remember to verify these reference values against certified data sheets and testing methods to ensure you meet all performance and safety requirements.
