Inhaltsangabe

The most comprehensive single volume on the most important non-metallic materials in use today. Contains many never before published articles. Perfect companion piece to highly regarded ASM Metals Handbook Desk Edition. This indispensable handbook contains a wealth of information on the basic non-metallic structural engineering materials - plastics, composites, ceramics and glasses. You'll get data on properties, selection, applications and testing. All of it has been peer-reviewed and synthesized to focus on the most potential points. If you need to consider alternatives to the materials you usually specify, this resource will prove truly invaluable. It will show where you can save on cost or weight, or gain other performance advantages. With key information about testing and processing, you can readily zero in on your choice of options. Based on ASM's renowned four-volume Engineered Materials Handbook series, this book also contains substantial new information. Like the 'Guide to Materials Selection' that gives you comparative information about the characteristics and advantages/disadvantages of these materials. There are also new sections on recycling plastics, metallizing of plastics, recycling and environmental impact of ceramics, and ceramic-matrix composites. Containing 'quick Stufy' information about the most widely used non-metallic materials, this book gives you hundreds of well-organized tables with critical details on properties and processing. A 'General Engineering Tables and Data' section provides convenient summary of facts and figures for quick reference. And you'll find numerous graphs, charts, illustrations, and photographs, plus an extensive glossary of terms. Contents include: General Data Information, Introduction to Polymeric Materials, Properties and Characteristics of Engineering Plastics and Elastomers, Processing and Fabrication of Engineering Plastics and Elastomers, Testing of Polymeric Materials, Polymer-Matrix Composites, Adhesives and Sealants, Introduction to Ceramics and Glasses, Applications Processing/Characterization of Ceramics, Advanced Ceramics, Ceramic-Matrix Composites, Glasses, Carbon-Carbon Composites, Index.
