Materials Properties
Learning how to use the items listed in this guide
Either e-format or the print is sufficient for "learning" how to proceed through materials science or another similar course, such as metallurgy, welding, fabrication, senior design. Search for materials properties based on the material. Metals then are grouped as steels (known also as ferrous) and non-steels (known also as non-ferrous) such as copper, aluminum, beryllium and so on. Or search by the designation code assigned such as C26000.
Searching the e-format is preferred by most students. Searching print by the index volume may be preferred for one just learning how to use the ASTM, ASM, and SAE Handbook. SAE Handbook is print only, we do not have e-format. The print format of the SAE Handbook is located in the basement, 629.102 S111 2005 volumes 1-3.
- ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital LibraryThe ASTM Standards and Digital Library is the complete set of ASTM standards, journals, symposia papers/Special Technical Publications (STPSs), and manuals. With more than 12,000 ASTM standards in more than 130 industry areas, nearly every discipline in engineering and applied science is affected. These standards address the needs of manufacturing, research and development, product testing, quality systems, and commercial transactions.
- KnovelA library of full-text content relating to all fields of engineering, science, and industrial safety.
- Heat Treater's Guide byISBN: 9780871705204Publication Date: 1995-01-01This edition is a complete revision and contains a great deal of new subject matter including information on ferrous powder metallurgy, cast irons, ultra high strength steels, furnace atmospheres, quenching processes, SPC and computer technology. Data on more than 135 additional steels has been added to the previously covered 280 alloys. Each data sheet gives you the chemical composition of the steel, a listing of similar U.S. and foreign steels, its characteristics and an explanation of the recommended heat treating procedure. Most of the compilation goes much further, offering a wide variety of additional data such as representative micrographs, isothermal transformation diagrams, cooling transformation diagrams, tempering curves and hardness diagrams. Additional aids include more than 650 figures, 400 micrographs, a glossary of selected heat treating terms, general engineering data and a detailed cross reference index.
- ASM Metals HandbooksComprehensive information source for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and materials technology
complete content of twenty-eight ASM Handbook volumes & several ASM Handbook supplements
over 25,000 pages of illustrations, tables, graphs, specifications.
