ASM Handbook, Volume 2B, Properties and Selection of Aluminum Alloys is a continuation of ASM Handbook, Volume 2A, Aluminum Science and Technology. As volumes dedicated to an important class of engineering alloys, Volume 2B provides expanded coverage on the engineering properties and includes alloy datasheets on commercially significant alloys and new alloys in development.

ASM International and the Board of Trustees are grateful for the work and dedication of volunteer editors, authors, and reviewers who devoted their time and expertise to develop a reference publication of the highest technical and editorial quality.

A special note of thanks is offered to the volume and division editors for their leadership and commitment to present a publication of the highest standards. The result is a comprehensive reference work that will help readers solve problems and gain insights.
