A new edition of ASTM's Metals & Alloys in the Unified Numbering System (UNS) is now available in print and online. The compilation includes 5,000+ UNS numbers, 11,800 trade names and alloy designations, and 13,300 specification cross-references.

Jointly developed by ASTM International and SAE International, this new edition offers an overall designation system for thousands of metals and alloys in commercial use. The UNS provides a means of correlating many internationally used metal and alloy numbering systems currently administered by societies, trade associations, and those individual users and producers of metals and alloys.

This book can help users achieve the necessary uniformity for efficient indexing, recordkeeping, data storage and retrieval, and cross-referencing. The applicable specifications referenced include those from AA, ASME, ASTM, AWS, CDA, ISO, NACE and SAE. New features in the 11^th edition include 4,500 new trade names and seven new fields of chemical element search capabilities (online version).

Copies of Metals & Alloys in the Unified Numbering System (UNS) are available in print (600 pages, soft cover, 8.5" x 11"; ISBN: 978-0-8031-1977-3; stock # DS56J) for $195 and online (stock # DS56JOL) for $390.
