ASM Handbook, Volume 10: Materials Characterization

"The 2019 edition of 'ASM handbook, Volume 10: Materials characterization' provides detailed technical information that will enable readers to select and use analytical techniques that are appropriate for their problem. Each article describing a characterization technique begins with an overview of the method in simplified terms and lists common applications as well as limitations. Sample size, form, and special preparation requirements are listed upfront to help readers quickly decide if the techniques are appropriate to solve their problem. Tables and charts listing the most common characterization methods for different classes of materials are included in the beginning of the handbook. The tables give information on whether the technique is suitable for elemental analysis, qualitative analysis, surface analysis, or alloy verification. The articles also describe material characterization in general terms according to material type and serve as a jumping off point to the more specific technique articles."-- ASM Handbooks Online website 82112_fm 82112_fwd 82112_loc 82112_comm 82112_pum 82112_pref 82112_toc 82112_01 82112_02 82112_03 82112_04 82112_05 82112_06 82112_07 82112_08 82112_09 82112_10 82112_11 82112_12 82112_13 82112_14 82112_15 82112_16 82112_17 82112_18 82112_19 82112_20 82112_21 82112_22 82112_23 82112_24 82112_25 82112_26 82112_27 82112_28 82112_29 82112_30 82112_31 82112_32 82112_33 82112_34 82112_35 82112_36 82112_37 82112_38 82112_39 82112_40 82112_41 82112_42 82112_43 82112_44 82112_45 82112_46 82112_47 82112_48 82112_49 82112_51 82112_52 82112_53 82112_54 82112_55 82112_56 82112_57 82112_58 82112_gloss 82112_indx This handy index eliminates the need to search through multiple back-of-the-book indexes to find where a subject is addressed. The comprehensive A-to-Z listing will help users find important handbook content in volumes where they may not have thought to look. This volume is a composite of all of the indexes in the complete 26-volume series, from Volume 1 through 22B. These volumes cover the properties, processing, and applications of metals and nonmetallic engineering materials. They are designed to provide the authoritative information and data necessary for the appropriate selection of materials to meet critical design and performance criteria
