MATERIALS SELECTOR 2ND EDITION
Ouvrage 0-412-61550-9 : MATERIALS SELECTOR 2ND EDITION
The Materials Selector is the most comprehensive and up-to-date comparative information system on
engineering materials and related methods of component manufacture. It has been thoroughly revised and
updated for this new edition, to incorporate new materials and developments. The second edition
features: new and improved methodology for materials selection; new case studies; new Ashby selection
charts; rapid prototyping; environmental impact of materials; materials for electromagnetic shielding; new
composite materials; new high performance magnetic materials. All tables and illustrations from the first
edition have been reviewed and updated, and many new tables and illustrations have been added. The
three volumes contain information on the properties, performance and processability of metals, plastics,
ceramics, composites, surface treatments and the characteristics and comparative economics of the
manufacturing routes which convert these materials into engineering components and products. Volume I
covers the initial stages in solving a materials selection problem and all possible manufacturing routes.
Volume 2 covers all aspects of the performance of metals and ceramics. Volume 3 covers all aspects of
the performance of polymers, thermosets, elastomers and composites.
