The Materials Handbook is an encyclopedic, A-to-Z organization of all types of materials, featuring their key performance properties, principal characteristics and applications in product design. Materials include ferrous and nonferrous metals, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, woods, composites, chemicals, minerals, textiles, fuels, foodstuffs and natural plant and animal substances --more than 13,000 in all. Properties are expressed in both U.S. customary and metric units and a thorough index eases finding details on each and every material.
Introduced in 1929 and often known simply as "Brady's," this comprehensive, one-volume, 1244 page encyclopedia of materials is intended for executives, managers, supervisors, engineers, and technicians, in engineering, manufacturing, marketing, purchasing and sales as well as educators and students.
Of the dozens of families of materials updated in the 15th Edition, the most extensive additions pertain to adhesives, activated carbon, aluminides, aluminum alloys, catalysts, ceramics, composites, fullerences, heat-transfer fluids, nanophase materials, nickel alloys, olefins, silicon nitride, stainless steels, thermoplastic elastomers, titanium alloys, tungsten alloys, valve alloys and welding and hard-facing alloys.
Also widely updated are acrylics, brazing alloys, chelants, biodegradable plastics, molybdenum alloys, plastic alloys, recyclate plastics, superalloys, supercritical fluids and tool steels.
New classes of materials added include aliphatic polyketones, carburizing secondary-hardening steels and polyarylene ether benzimidazoles. Carcinogens and materials likely to be cancer-causing in humans are listed for the first time.
Review:
Materials Handbook (15th Ed.)
The "Materials Handbook" (15th Ed.) is now one of my favorite reference books. The variety of materials that it documents is pretty amazing. This is a great book for the scientist, engineer & layperson alike. A reader can quickly find the basic description & properties for alloys, elements, non-metallic substances, plastics, wood, liquids, etc., etc. If you can name it, it's probably in this book. There's one caveat; even at 1244 pages, it cannot contain every useful fact pertaining to a particular substance. Given that practical limitation, I suspect that many of us could learn exactly what we wanted to know about a substance and others can search other references that focus exclusively on specific materials in whatever category. Again, it's a very valuable reference and it is a great addition to any technical library.
