Third Edition
by James F. Shackelford
and William Alexander

• New tabular material for nonferrous alloys and composite materials

• More than 300 tables covering all important categories of modern engineering materials

• Outstanding organization, including thumb tabs and a key word indexing system for quick and easy searches

• Optional selection-by-value presentation, ideal for design applications

Materials Science and Engineering Handbook 3rd Edition is the most comprehensive source available for data on engineering materials. Organized in an easy-to-follow format based on materials properties, this definitive reference features data verified through major professional societies in the materials field, such as ASM International and the American Ceramic Society. The third edition has been significantly expanded, most notably by the addition of new tabular material for a wide range of nonferrous alloys and various composite materials.

For engineers making, selecting, or evaluating materials, this one, compact volume provides the ideal starting point. It is exceptionally easy to search-the authors have organized it according to materials properties, provided a key word indexing system, and placed many data sets in a convenient Selection Section where materials can be compared by property value, a feature ideal for design applications.

A bestseller since its first edition, the Materials Science and Engineering Handbook stands alone as a the consummate reference for data on the full spectrum of engineering materials.
