Hoary Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 What Books would be best to teach me general information metal properties and melting points ect. I wanted to learn so I wouldn't be scratching my head when I used a certian metal and expect it to be able to work into something that it just isn't cut out to be.

FredW Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Do a search of John Verhoeven, Iowa state university. He has a metallurgy book for knife and heat treatable steels. It is 201 pages. I have it on my desk top but I don't know how to link it to the message. I could e-mail though. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
