This book will be a single-source, easy-to-use reference work on the principal characteristics and uses for major common types of metals, composites, and plastics.

It provides the key physical characteristics and mechanical characteristics, along with important considerations when machining and processing and fabricating with these materials. With over 600 specific materials, categorized into metals, plastics, wood products, and composites, each material has an entry, and the book offers such essential parameters as chemical composition, mass, hardness, yield strength, melting point, and electrical and thermal conductivity.

Readers will be provided with typical uses for each material cited, entries will be cross-indexed by both trade and generic names, including common industry names used for alloys of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
