Reviews | ||
The Perfect Reference I am a plant metallurgist for a company and I constantly use this book to look at properties for various materials. The book is relatively small (unlike ASM books) and contains loads of hard to find information. | ||
More useful data than a dozen handbooks Smith's book is excellent for two reasons: 1) His explainations of the properties, structure and applicaiton of various alloys is simple and to the point. (Many of them are somewhat out of date, but so is every other textbook in the world.) Excellent for metallurgists. 2) This book is so loaded with tables, you may never have to look any mechanical property data up in the library again. Excellent for mechanical engineers. Although expensive, this book will replace a dozen others on your desk. | ||
Highly recommended This book is written from the prospective of a metallurgist. As such, it contains a very good discussion on the physical structure of various engineering materials, heat treatments, and alloy effects. However, it also contains lots of material data useful for engineering. This is an excellent book for those interested in more than stress-strain curves and yield stresses of engineering materials. | ||
