The unique and practical second edition of the Materials Handbook provides quick and easy access to data on the physical and chemical properties of all classes of materials. The second edition has been largely expanded to include whole new families of materials while many of the existing families are broadened and refined with new material and up-to-date information. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of common industrial materials in each class.

* Uniquely thorough presentation of physical and chemical data on materials
* Careful indexing and tabular format make the data quickly accessible
* An essential tool for any practitioner or academic working in materials or in engineering

Detailed appendices provide additional information on subjects as diverse as crystallography, natural radioactivity and economic data for industrial materials. Specific further reading sections and a general bibliography round out this comprehensive guide. The index and tabular format of the book make light work of extracting what the reader needs to know from the wealth of factual information within these covers.

François Cardarelli has spent many years compiling and editing materials data. His professional expertise and experience combine to make this handbook an indispensable reference tool for scientists and engineers working in fields from mechanical, electrical, and chemical to metallurgical and nuclear engineering.
