This latest edition incorporates the many changes in the specifications and designations of nonferrous alloys that have occurred over the past five years. The volume features over 20,000 alloy designations, including a complete listing of UNS designations for nonferrous alloys and comprehensive treatment of current European and Japanese standards. It covers more countries, more alloys, and more standards than previous editions, while keeping obsolete designations for those persons trying to duplicate equipment from old documents. 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 that allow you to compare similar alloys. Tensile properties and product forms are provided when available.

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.

Proceedings of ASM InternationalAs 1993 Conference. In this volume, the papers describe real-world applications of putting composites to work. Once thought of as solutions in search of problems, many of these composites are being mainstreamed into commercial applications. Nearly one-third of the book deals with physical and mechanical properties of ceramic matrix composites; other areas covered in detail are processing and characterization of intermetallic matrix composites and metal matrix composites; processing, fabrication and application of polymer matrix composites, fabrications of functionally gradient materials, and processing applications of carbon-carbon composites. Contributing authors hail from university, government and defense research facilities, as well as from aerospace companies across the country.

Erstmals in einem Band werden Werkstoffe hier (in zwei getrennten Systemen) sowohl nach ihrer technischen Anwendung als auch nach ihren Eigenschaften geordnet. - Benutzer können deshalb zunächst nach der Gruppe von Materialen suchen, die für eine spezielle Anwendung geeignet sind, und anschließend Details über jedes einzelne Material finden - Suchkriterien sind Eigenschaften wie Wärmeleitfähigkeit, optisches Reflexionsvermögen, Elastizität usw. und Anwendungsgebiete wie Bauwesen, Biomedizin, Fahrzeugbau, Luftfahrttechnik, Elektrotechnik usw. - berücksichtigt werden sowohl herkömmliche Werkstoffe (Eisen- und Nichteisenmetalle, Kunststoffe, Klebstoffe) als auch Kompositwerkstoffe und synthetische Materialen wie Laminate, Fasern und Keramiken
