Abstract
This study deals with the statistical analysis of the chemical and mechanical properties of irons and steels produced from the 1840s. The mechanical characteristics (in this study only the results of tests under static loading are considered) of the irons tested in the nineteenth century seem different from the results of recent analyses. In addition, the statistical analysis of the chemical characteristics of irons and steels enables a better knowledge of these metals. A first exploratory global analysis of these properties makes it possible the identification of groups of individuals particularly through the phosphorus and manganese contents.
