Great desk reference

This is an excellent desk reference for anyone in a manufacturing or purchasing job role, students, or those with a curiosity about engineering materials, and why certain materials and processes are called out for specific applications. Covers metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites. This is a college level text, but is not overly difficult reading. Includes numerous photos, illustrations, tables, diagrams, and figures for comparison and enhanced understanding.
