Common Materials Used In FIRST & Other Industries

Now that it is winter break and I have some free time, I have started creating a spreadsheet for design purposes based on combination loadings and factors of safety. Since I am just beginning to create this document, I am looking for more materials that I can throw on to the list along with their material properties. I am familiar of the current materials used with 973 and across FIRST. (Al 2024, 6061, 7075, etc.) However, I would love to add more to the list for projects that might be of a larger magnitude than a FRC robot. Any more would help and advice on others would gladly be appreciated!

Thanks!
