Book Description

A companion volume to the Worldwide Guide to Equivalent Irons and Steels, this reference book gives you the same complete coverage and identical format for nonferrous metals and alloys. completely updated and expanded from the previous edition, it's an absolute must if you're involved with materials specifying in any way. This comprehensive volume is well-indexed with easy to use cross references that make short work of looking up equivalents for a material specification or designation. It provides valuable composition tables and allows you to compare similar alloys. Tensile properties and product forms are provided when available. If you work in the international marketplace, it's especially ideal for identifying foreign specifications, finding similar alloys and verifying compositional limits. This book is organized by material group or class such as aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, tin, titanium, and zinc. Each is further subdivided into groups, then finally into individual alloys.It's a must for metallurgists in design and manufacturing, materials producing companies, distributors and purchasing agents for metallic alloys, design and environmental engineers, academic and institutional libraries and information centres.
