This new volume in the ASM Ready Reference series is a quick and easy to use source for qualified thermal properties of metals and alloys. The data tables are arranged by material hierarchy, with summary tables sorted by property value. Values are given for a range of high and low temperatures. Short technical discussions at the beginning of each chapter are designed to refresh the reader’s understanding of the properties and units covered in that section.
This reference presents a comprehensive listing of thermal properties of metallic materials. Data was collected from more than 80 sources and includes values for both ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys. Sources and qualifiers are listed for all values. Values are listed in the preferred (SI) units and alternate (customary) units. Data were reviewed by the ASM Materials Properties Database Committee.
