- ASM Handbooks OnlineCoverage: Varies
ASM International, the Materials Information Society is the industry's best known and most comprehensive source of information on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and materials technology. Articles, illustrations, tables, graphs, specifications and practical examples, today's engineer can access peer-reviewed, trusted information in every area of materials specialization.
- Materials Handbook by François Cardarelli This unique and practical book provides quick and easy access to data on the physical and chemical properties of all classes of materials. The second edition has been much expanded to include whole new families of materials while many of the existing families are broadened and refined with new material and up-to-date information. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of common industrial materials in each class. Detailed appendices provide additional information, and careful indexing and a tabular format make the data quickly accessible. This book is an essential tool for any practitioner or academic working in materials or in engineering.ISBN: 9781846286698Publication Date: 2008-03-19
