Good reference book for material selection
Hi Everyone,
I am basically a post graduate student trying to set up my own business. Its a mechanical based business. I come across activities like material selection, fabrication, machining & installation and commissioning. In short turnkey projects.
Since my activities are customer based so I have to refer different standards [B]American / British / German / Indian Standards[/B] (Primarily all the 4 standards).
So my dilemma is can any one suggest me such a reference books or links which cover the basic parameters like ([B]Chemical composition & mechanical properties[/B] i.e. tensile, elongation etc)
The basic need is, if a customer states (for example 1000 UTS then I can find equivalent material in the corresponding (American / British / German / Indian) Standards. Both the chemical & physical properties should be comparable to give an equivalent material.
Basic standardized books with [B]American / British / German / Indian standards[/B] into consideration will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
