Beschreibung
This truly unique and practical book provides easy and rapid access to the accurate physical and chemical properties of all classes of materials. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of common industrial materials in each class. Materials are classified in the following sections:
• metals and alloys
• semiconductors
• superconductors
• magnetic materials
• dielectrics and insulators
• miscellaneous electrical materials
• industrial ceramics, refractories and glasses
• polymers and elastomers
• minerals, ores, gemstones and rocks
• timbers and woods
• building materials
Detailed appendices provide additional information and an extensive bibliography completes this comprehensive guide. The index and format of the book enable the reader to locate and extract the relevant information quickly and easily.
François Cardarelli has spent many years compiling and editing this complete handbook of materials. His professional expertise and experience combine to make this an indispensable reference tool for scientists and engineers working in numerous fields ranging from nuclear to civil engineering.
This unique and practical book provides quick and easy access to data on the physical and chemical properties of all classes of materials. The second edition has been much 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. The book is an essential tool for any practitioner or academic working in materials or in engineering. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of common industrial materials in each class. Detailed appendices provide additional information.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"This handbook contains practical and concise information on key scientific and technical material properties for the most commonly used industrial materials … . Compared with many other handbooks on material properties, this handbook presents more background information on how to use the data presented. … Those looking for a materials reference handbook on commonly used industrial materials, especially those who need to have a better understanding of material property fundamentals, will find this an interesting and very useful handbook." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, 2009)
