A companion volume to the Worldwide Guide to Equivalent Nonferrous Metals and Alloys, 4th Edition. The 20th Anniversary Edition of this well-known standard reference publication, this latest edition of this resource incorporates the many changes in the specifications and designations of irons and steels that have occurred over the past six years. It also covers more countries, more alloys, and more standards than previous editions, while keeping obsolete designations for those persons trying to duplicate equipment form old documents. In addition, the section on welding filler metals has been expanded.

This comprehensive guide presents detailed descriptions of the many individual ferrous materials that are available throughout the world. These descriptions, however, have been organized in a clear and concise way. Thus, the guide can be used as the starting point for global sourcing of equivalent materials from amid the confusing multitude of ever-changing standards and designations.

This latest edition of the guide has been organized in the same popular way as the previous edition. The primary organization is based on the type or iron or steel. The main divisions within this framework are: Cast Irons, Cast Steels, Cast Stainless Steels, Alloy Steels, Carbon Steels, High-Strength Steels, Wrought Stainless Steels, Tool Steels, and Welding Filler Steels. These major divisions are further divided into common groups, and then into individual alloy listings. In listing the individual alloys, similar alloys from international sources have been grouped together. The handbook also contains complete indexes, specifications, designations, and a handy listing of national and international standards organizations.
