Properties of Materials and Chemicals

Resources by Materials: Metals & Alloys

Online resources [MIT only]:
ASM Materials Information	Includes the ASM Handbook, ASM Alloy Center, and the ASM Micrograph Center.
CINDAS Microelectronics Packaging Materials Database [MPMD]	Contains data on thermal, mechanical, electrical and physical properties of electronics packaging materials, including over 750 materials and over 15,000 data curves. Developed under the sponsorship of the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC).
CINDAS Thermophysical Properties of Matter Database [TPMD]	Contains thermophysical properties of over 5,000 materials with approximately 50,000 data curves. Searchable by material, by property, or by partial string (name). Dynamic graphing capabilities allow users to compare the same property of multiple materials, change scale ranges, and export and import data.
Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology	Comprehensive coverage of the broad and multidisciplinary field of materials. Each article was commissioned and written by an internationally recognised expert and provides an overview of a particular aspect of the field. Includes extensive bibliographies, cross-referencing and indexes.
Landolt-Bornstein, Group IV Physical Chemistry via Knovel Phase Equilibria, Crystallographic and Thermodynamic Data of Binary Alloys, Volume 5 - Electronic Materials and Semiconductors Phase Equilibria, Crystallographic and Thermodynamic Data of Binary Alloys, Volume 5 - Light Metal Structural Alloys	Presents phase equilibria and thermodynamic data of binary alloy systems and crystallographic data of intermediate phases in easily accessible, fully interactive table and graphs. Information is given on metastable crystalline phases as well as quasicrystalline or amorphous alloys. Interactive data is field searchable, while the text of the reference is full text searchable.
Metals and Metallurgy Handbooks via Knovel	Search all of knovel to include handbooks in Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and more.
Reaxys	Use Reaxys to access Gmelin for inorganic materials *Tip:* Put the molecular formula in Hill Order.
Online resources [Freely available]:
MatWeb	MatWeb is a free materials information database with property data on 19,013 materials including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory Data on the Web	NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.
PGM Database	A collection of published data and internal Johnson Matthey data defining the physical properties and characteristics of platinum group metals and their alloys.
Article databases for finding information on Metals & Alloys [MIT only]:
Compendex	A database for all areas of engineering Tip: Browse for Controlled Terms.
Inspec	A database for physics, electronics, electrical engineering, computer science Tip: Use the Chemical Indexes, Descriptors, and Identifiers.
CSA Materials Research Database with Metadex	Metadex is the premier database for metals and alloys, going back to 1966. Other databases include Aluminum Industry Abstracts, Copper Data Center Database, Corrosion Abstracts and Weldasearch. Tip: Use the Descriptor (DE) field.
SciFinder	For searching Chemical Abstracts, chemical literature. Note: This is a web-based product, but you need to register to access the database.
