Learn about steel from the industry experts using our Practical Data for Metallurgists guide. 

Since its introduction in 1953, our renowned handbook, Practical Data for Metallurgists, has served as an essential industry reference for technical experts, operations managers, and engineers. Our metallurgy guide was the first of its kind in the industry. Today, the 19^th edition of the guide includes an updated listing of standard steels and their chemical compositions, hardening abilities, and tolerances. The guide conforms to American Iron and Steel Institute and Society of Automotive Engineers standards, and our team of career metallurgists supports and regularly updates the content to reflect changing industry standards.
