MatWeb: Material Property Data
A public database of materials data sheets contributed by material supplier companies.
Wayback Machine: archived government and other websites.
With every change in U.S. presidential administration, federal agencies tend to remodel their websites to fit the new priorities. Often you can locate webpages that have moved or been removed using the Wayback Machine. Datasets that were linked or hosted on these pages, might not be available, but information about them might be archived.
