About this ebook
The Smithells Metals Reference Book is one of the best known and most trusted sources of reference for the professional metallurgist or materials scientist, and has been so since its inception in 1949. Drawing upon the data contained within this respected work, and completely updating and revising it where necessary to bring the information completely up to date, the editors have created a new book which is dedicated to the most commonly used and popular light metals.
The Smithells Light Metals Handbook, with its combination of comprehensive data on properties, standards and international materials specifications coupled with other unique features like the extensive section of binary phase diagrams, will no doubt become a standard reference work for the industrial and theoretical metallurgist. Containing all the data that you will ever need with respect to Aluminium, Magnesium and Titanium, this book will be an invaluable tool for anyone working in the design, manufacture or use of components or raw materials in these areas.
- The standard reference work for metallurgists
- Contains all data for researchers and professional metallurgists

Preface
The light metals covered by this handbook are only those of industrial importance – aluminium, magnesium and titanium. The values given have been updated to the time of publication. They are intended for all those working with light metals; for research or design purposes Reference to source material may be found in Smithells Metals Reference Book (revised 7th edition). For design purpose values of mechanical properties must be obtained from the relevant specifications. Equilibrium diagrams are taken to be the most suitable for general work. For specialist work on any system, original sources should be consulted.
