Handbook of Materials Selection
Description
With literally hundreds of materials or combinations of materials and thousands of specific applications of each it is difficult at best for a developer, designer or engineer to have a complete working knowledge of every material under every application. This handbook is the first single volume source to classify materials and their properties by the type of engineering application needed, and in a second section classify materials by their properties. This format makes our handbook the most useful single source for engineers, designers, and materials scientists across all levels of the market.
