About this title

From the Back Cover:

Comprehensive metallurgical data, test methods, and ISO standards. . .all in one handy, on-the-job reference Does your cast iron need to be abrasion-resistant or corrosion-resistant? What are the best uses for steel materials that are nitriding, case hardening, and low-carbon? What is the recommended casting temperature for copper? You'll find the answers to these and hundreds of other practical questions inside this comprehensive book. The Metal Databook helps you select the appropriate metals or metal alloys and use them properly, no matter what type of project you're working on. In face, no other single volume covers the field the way this one does. Among its many unique features, the book: Compares ISO standards for various grades of metal from the United States, Japan, Great Britain, and many other countries; Provides a wide range of standard test methods for determining material properties. . .from Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers hardness tests to micrographic methods; Presents actual metallurgical data--including chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat treatment--for cast irons, steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, and related alloys, as well as powder metallurgy. The Metal Databook also includes numerous helpful tables and charts throughout. This resource is an indispensable on-the-job reference that engineering professionals will turn to time and again.
