Title: Would like book recommendations Metallurgy and/or material science.
Post by: Guest on June 10, 2006, 04:17:54 PM
Something fairly comprehensive but not necessarily technical reference books. Any suggestions?

I'm considering Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist but maybe that's too basic?

ASM has soem online classes but the membership alone is $175.00 and then the classes are ~$300.00 each. Since it doesn't directly apply to my job anymore, I'd have to pay for it myself.

No, just general nerdiness. I like materials. Smiley

The only idea I have is go to your local college bookstores and see if you can find anything used there. Or maybe any libraries nearby?

They have a few things that might interest you.  Can you be more specific about what you're interested in?  Blacksmithing?  Welding?  Casting?  Or more of a theory approach?
