(Old Reference/Research)
This Handbook gives you a comprehensive set of the hundreds of specifications issued by the Government, the Military Agencies, and the various Metallurgical Societies on all standard brass and bronze foundry alloys.

In the Handbook we are for the first time providing information of specific use to the designer as well as to the foundryman.  There is a section on the application and selection of typical copper alloys and on their corrosion resistance.  There are also tables indicating the physical properties that can be obtained from typical groups of alloys.  

For the foundryman, there is a brief section on a tabulation of foundry casting problems and their most likely causes arranged for convenient reference.

The newest addition to our Resources Section.  This manual is courtesy of www.copper.org.  By William D. Nielsen, Jr. of Western Reserve Manufacturing Co., Inc. Engineering, though very much a science, is also very much an art. Research, extensive experience and a broad understanding of the properties which the alloying elements can impart to the copper base metal are essential to good material design.  This guide will help you navigate your way in understanding this better.
