This review is from: Atlas of Stress-Strain Curves (Hardcover)

This atlas was advertised as having many more curves than the first edition, but at first glance it appears that most of these "new" curves come from MIL-HDBK-5 (now MMPDS-01) and the Aerospace Structural Metals Handbook (Purdue CINDAS). If you don't have the first edition, this would be a good source as there are many curves not included in MIL-HDBK or ASMH. The presentation of the curves is uniform (and is much better than what I remember of the first edition) and the pedigree and source references remain excellent.

from the table of contents (#'s in brackets are # of pages):

section 1: brief introduction to monotonic and cyclic stress-strain curves (most curves presented in this atlas are monotonic)[20 pgs]

section 2: ferrous metals (cast irons[44], carbon steels[27], alloy steels[37], high-strength steels[33], stainless steels[109], tool steels[7])

section 3: nonferrous metals (cast aluminums[20], wrought aluminums[204], aluminum laminates[12],copper alloys[40], magnesium alloys[76], nickel alloys[74], reactive and refractory metals[24], titanium alloys[70], pure metals and misc alloys[10])

There are usually 2 curves per page.
