4.0 out of 5 stars
A really broad listing of materials and their uses,
By A Customer
This review is from: Materials Handbook, 14th Edition (Hardcover)
This book is most helpful to those who have to find information about materials outside their area of expertise. The listing is extremely broad, and unlike other books, does not just focus on engineered or structural materials. The negative side of this breadth is the small amount of information on each material (sometimes only one or two paragraphs). This small amount of information, however, is usually enough to direct a search into a more productive direction. I have benefitted from this book on the last 4 jobs I have held. Definitely worth having.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A wealth of information for my future as a mechanical engineer,
This review is from: Materials Handbook, 14th Edition (Hardcover)
Excellent reference book for those individuals needing to know the materials that go into the products we use everyday.
