For 75 years, ASM Handbooks have been the best-known, most widely used reference tools available to materials engineers, specifiers, researchers and students. Now, these tools have taken a dramatic step into the new millennium. Introducing ASM Handbook on CD-ROM: the result of a partnership between The Dialog Corporation, a leader in electronic publishing, and ASM International, The Materials Information Society.
