ASM Handbook

Handbook is an authoritative source of information on the properties, processing, and applications of engineering materials. The database is the CD-ROM equivalent of the ASM Handbook (formerly Metals Handbook), published by ASM International. The series has grown from a single volume, first published in 1923, to the current 20-volume set. While the series focuses on metallic materials–with a special emphasis on steels–information is also provided on selected nonmetallic engineering materials. The ASM Handbook series is intended to be a comprehensive, reliable reference tool for engineers, students, technicians, researchers, and others who need basic information about engineered materials.
