最新版包含了过去五年中有色合金规范和名称的许多变化。该卷有超过20000个合金名称，包括有色合金UNS名称的完整列表，以及当前欧洲和日本标准的综合处理。与以前的版本相比，它涵盖了更多的国家、更多的合金和更多的标准，同时为那些试图从旧文件中复制设备的人保留了过时的名称。这本综合性的书有很好的索引和易于使用的交叉引用，可以很快地查找材料规格或名称的等价物。它提供了有价值的成分表，让你可以比较类似的合金。如果可用，提供拉伸性能和产品形式。本书按材料组或类别组织，如铝、铜、铅、镁、镍、锡、钛和锌。 每种合金都被进一步细分为若干组，最后再细分为单独的合金。它是设计和制造业的冶金学家、材料生产公司、金属合金经销商和采购商、设计和环境工程师、学术和机构图书馆以及信息中心的必备工具。如果你在国际市场工作，它特别适合于识别国外规格、寻找类似合金和验证成分限制。这本有价值的参考书是《全球等效钢铁指南》第四版的优秀配套书，它为您提供了与有色金属和合金相同的完整内容和相同的格式。

This latest edition incorporates the many changes in the specifications and designations of nonferrous alloys that have occurred over the past five years. The volume features over 20,000 alloy designations, including a complete listing of UNS designations for nonferrous alloys and comprehensive treatment of current European and Japanese standards. It covers more countries, more alloys, and more standards than previous editions, while keeping obsolete designations for those persons trying to duplicate equipment from old documents.This comprehensive volume is well-indexed with easy-to-use cross references that make short work of looking up equivalents for a material specification or designation. It provides valuable composition tables that allow you to compare similar alloys. Tensile properties and product forms are provided when available.This book is organized by material group or class such as aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, tin, titanium, and zinc. Each is further subdivided into groups, then finally into individual alloys.It's a must for metallurgists in design and manufacturing, materials producing companies, distributors and purchasing agents for metallic alloys, design and environmental engineers, academic and institutional libraries, and information centers. If you work in the international marketplace, it's especially ideal for identifying foreign specifications, finding similar alloys and verifying compositional limits.An excellent companion volume to the Worldwide Guide to Equivalent Irons and Steels, 4th Edition, this valuable reference book gives you the same complete coverage and identical format for nonferrous metals and alloys.
