Each test method describes the principle, apparatus, general precautions and the test procedures. This book contains information on equivalent national and international standard -- BIS, ASTM, BS, DIN, ISO and JIS - on testing of metals, hardness conversion tables, macroetchants and microetchants for metals. Besides this, a directory of select standards organizations, technical associations, and testing equipment manufacturers are also included.

Testing of Metals is a must read for: Engineers and technical professionals involved in testing and evaluation of metallic materials Undergraduate and graduate students of metallurgical and mechanical engineering.
