4.0 out of 5 stars
Superb for Metalurgists...,
By zen anarchist (In a cube, designing away) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smithells Metals Reference Book, Eighth Edition (Hardcover)
However, it is not the best source book for mechanical design. (This refers to the seventh edition) As a design engineer, I find it most useful when finding information on CTE's and other thermal properties, and also to get a good basic understanding of a class of materials. For straight forward stress analysis, resources like MIL-HDBK-5 and the ASM References often prove more useful. If you are doing a lot of thermal analysis, or are often looking to apply exotic materials to design problems, you'll find yourself reaching for Smithells on a regular basis.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Reference Guide,
This review is from: Smithells Metals Reference Book, Eighth Edition (Hardcover)
I'm a metallurgical engineer at a major steel company, and this is a great guide and reference to have in my little library.
